Good morning,
We have an hour and 20 minutes to get this morning's assignment done and SENT to me. Don't waste time. I will entering final grades today and tomorrow, so if you have any hopes of passing this class you will need to complete this assignment. Here it is:
1. Open up this link.
2. Select the biography on any one person who interests you. If you cannot find any one who interests you, pick someone. You cannot, no, you will not sit idle this morning, letting another 80 minutes tick off of your life without having produced something. Remember, that the purpose of this class was to work toward mastery in writing summaries. Are you there: are you a master summarizer? Skills, marketable skills raise individuals out of poverty, not good looks or the right friends.
3. Watch the biography of your choice. Watch it for 40 minutes. You won't finish it today; okay, fine, but you need to watch it and give attention to the individual's story.
4. Next, you will need to write a 4-paragraph summary on what you learned on that person. You must follow the 4-paragraph format that I have posted at the top of the blog for this class: http://callingacareer.blogspot.com. That format is here:
Paragraph 2: Explain why these points are important.
Paragraph 3: Compare the biography to another one you've seen that is better.
Paragraph 4: Evaluate the documentary. Explain this: How did it help to advance your understanding of the importance of the person? If the documentary did not help, explain why it did not.
5. Understand that you are going to write your four-paragraph review at your blog. You do have your email address AND password, don't you.
IF YOUR VIDEO DOESN'T RUN, HERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE ASSIGNMENT:
1. Go to Google and enter the name of a person you'd like to know more about.
2. Read the Wikipedia entry on that person. In fact, to guarantee that you get a Wikipedia entry from Google, type in the Google browser window, "Wikipedia and [your person's name]."
3. Read the article.
4. Summarize the article using the 4-paragraph format. Then send me a copy of your blog with your completed summary.
