Welcome Group #3

Hey Group #3! From now on, all communication will take place through this blog. If you need a refresher on due dates or group goals, this is the place to go.

So here are the list of things that we mentioned tonight and please feel free to comment and add your input:

1. Individual memo is due to Feinberg via e-mail on March 10th. If you want me to evaluate your work, you have to have it sent to me by March 7th, or you may choose to have a peer evaluate your work. If you chose the second option, you must CC me on the e-mail so I can give you credit for taking the initiative to have your work evaluated

2. As we also discussed in our group meeting, we are amending the Group Goals to state that your work does not need to be edited by me, that you can choose to have your work peer evaluated, I just need to be informed of this decision

3. We will be meeting every Monday for 10-15 minutes to discuss any topics of interest of future assignments. If you have an issue that you want to discuss in the meetings, feel free to mention that to me and we will address them.

Okay, so I am including the criteria of the Individual memo at the end of this blog.

See you all on Wednesday and Boiler Up!

This is the set up of the Paper, there is no length requirement. You just need to follow Feinberg’s wants as far as the papers structure is concerned and that will put substantial length in the paper. Just make sure you have a good first paragraph that has an introduction with an attention-getter (such as a question, quote, or scene), then essential background information about the topic, and a thesis statement. Also good transitions are necessary along with a concluding last paragraph. Tell your kids DO NOT summarize the movie do an analysis and provide feedback on what you learned. I copied what Feinberg wrote and posted on the internet server.

*VERY IMPORTANT: All work should/must/needs to be submitted by email as an attachment to **xdj1@purdue.edu* * with the correct subject line (unless specified differently). When you submit by email you must put the proper subject heading. You also must include your name(s) on actual paper (not just in body of email message) to insure credit.*

*Individual Memo* Film Analysis. Select a recent (last 12 months) movie. What do you learn about leadership? List of non-acceptable movies to follow. Email with “IM2” in subject line. It is important that you don’t simply provide a summary of the movie but do a leadership analysis. What is the leadership issue in this movie?

1. First paragraph- Have a point that is on target to assignment
2. Last paragraph- concludes the point
3. Transitions between paragraphs- support the point Paragraph structure
4. Spelling
5. Use resources- Have someone who can write and be honest with you read your work before you turn it in. Be prepared to write a paper at least three times. Use the writing lab or someone.
6. Have pride in your work since it is a reflection on you
