...English through drama for oral skills development Laura Miccoli This paper presents the results of an investigation into the value of using drama in a Brazilian university classroom. Drawing on Di Pietro (1987) and Via (1976) on the advantages of using drama in language learning, from Mezirow (1990) and Schön (1991) on the importance of reflection for promoting meaningful learning, and from Donato and McCormick (1994) and Lukinsky (1990) on the e¤ectiveness of portfolios as a tool to promote reflection, the paper presents a case study of the use of drama in an oral skill class, describing the course structure and classroom procedures. It includes learners’ voices as taken from their portfolios, and evaluates results, presenting setbacks and possible solutions. Finally, it encourages the use of drama and portfolios for transformative and emancipatory learning. Introduction As teachers we are always looking for ways to improve our classes and motivate our students. Yet, teaching conditions may not be as ideal as we would like them to be. Sometimes we get too many students; often they have di¤erent proficiency levels; sometimes both problems arise in the same class. This was my situation: I had to teach a conversation class where the level of proficiency of the 37 students ranged from basic to advanced. Knowing that a traditional format would not work, the experiences of interactionists like Di Pietro (1987) and the actor/teacher Via (1976) helped me decide to bring drama and...

...Leadership Cumulative Essay Mathew Johnson College Phoenix Leadership Prof. Monstade February 04, 2012 Leadership Cumulative Essay Introduction This essay will give insight into the author’s point of view on several facets of nursing today. The information provided will speak to lessons learned in the Everest College Nursing program. Topics covered shall consist of a reflection of the personal nursing philosophy, impact and concepts of the Nursing Code of Ethics and how it applies to Nursing as a profession, the concept of patient centered care, use of technology in documentation, and the leadership aspects that are considered as a new graduate. Leadership aspects entail team leading, delegation, and role transition from graduate to RN. This is the point of view of the author and information given here will be both objective and subjective. Nursing Philosophy In a previous paper written, the reflection of this student’s own nursing philosophy seemed to coincide with that of Florence Nightingale as well as Dorothy Orem. Orem’s school of thought leans toward the nurse having a large hand in aiding a patient to achieve total self-sustainability. Dorothy Orem’s theory is actually three separate theories that work synergistically. These theories are the theory of self-care, theory of self-care deficit, and the theory of Nursing systems. This works well for a patient, when achieved, due to the self-care...

...ENHANCING SKILLS AND BEHAVIOR AS A HUMAN RESOURCE STUDENT INTRODUCTION All businesses, no matter what the size, need some sort of organizational structure, consisting of various departments that contribute to the company’s overall mission and goals. Human Resource Management has always played a major role in sustaining the company and maintaining its work force. They are the ones who work for the organization such as employee recruitment and retention, exit interviews, motivation, assignment selection, labor law compliance, performance reviews, training, professional development, mediation, and change management, and many more. It is really important in a business to have people who will manage and organized the employees. Based on a survey, 8 out of 10 businesses are successful because of the influence of Human Resource in the company. Being an HR manager consistently ranks as one of the best jobs, with a #4 ranking by CNN Money in 2006 and a #20 ranking by the same organization in 2009, due to its pay, personal satisfaction, job security, future growth, and benefit to society.

...Ekke Kanda English 112 Vocal Performances in American Stand-Up Comedy In “Sounding Gendered: Vocal Performances”, Tom Delph-Janiurek argues that peoples voices are mediated by discourse (Giltrow 277). He explains that voices are interpreted through attribution to recognizable performances of roles and gendered and sexualized performances (Giltrow 276). According to Delph-Janiurek, voices are limited within the confines of certain societal hegemonic norms. He explains that the relationship between voices and bodies is not necessarily physiological; voices are vocal “performances”. There exists a pre-established gender duality within society, in which masculinity and the “male” voice is associated with the male body, and femininity and the “female” voice is associated with the female body. Thus, what is considered to be a “natural” voice is merely a choice made by an individual as to which of the two sides of duality they identify with more (Gamson). This choice is a representation of a gendered and sexualized identity that is influenced by discourse. Gender norms dictate that males identify with the more masculine voice, with a lower pitch and only slight increases in intonation. The stereotypical female voice, on the other hand, is more high pitched, with more variation in intonation (Bonds-Raacke). With this in consideration, Delph Janiurek’s thesis is that voices have a “geography”, and that they can be authored in a certain way within certain societal “spaces” (Giltrow...

If there is any company that thinks differently and believe that they can change the world and make it better that is “Apple Inc.”. As said by Steve job “People who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the people that really do” (Apple, Inc. 1997). Arguably, apple Inc. is one of the most innovative technology companies to emerge in the last three decades. Apple has revolutionized the technological industry in some cases, created the industry. One of its co-founders, Steve Jobs, had an extraordinary vision and turned it into reality (Mickey 2013). “Steve Jobs saw the future and brought it to life long before most people could even see the horizon” and his “passionate belief in the power of technology to transform the way we live ... brought knowledge and power that is reshaping the face of civilization” (Finkle 2010). Similarly, Mark Zuckerberg said, “thanks for showing that what you build can change the world” (Finkle 2010). Apple Inc. is currently one of the most successful and innovative technology companies ever. Haven’t incorporated in 1977 and went public in 1980, around 1996, the world believed that Apple Computer one of the best brand in the world was on its deathbed.

...the goal. Aim: The aim of the course is to learn reading, writing and speaking Arabic. The students can read, write and speak basic Arabic as a mean to communicate with Arabs and to access to Arabic Literature. Achievement: I am hoping that the students will be able to read, write and speak basic level of Arabic at the completion of the course.

...man, probably in his early seventies and full of knowledge of the events that took place that day. He explains that we are about to hear an actual audio recording of a water board hearing that was held across the street from the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on the morning of the bombing. Our group, roughly 20 people, is ushered into a room where the audio is playing, approximately two minutes into the hearing; you hear a loud explosion followed by panicked shouting as the faces of the 168 victims killed that day are displayed on the screen. So it is said that this is the only recording of what it sounded like when Timothy McVeigh’s rented Ryder truck bomb exploded, leaving the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building annihilated. The audio delivers an emotional blow that makes you think twice about entering through the doors opening into the next gallery where screens replay the first video images of the chaos taking place and actual...

...Within this theory paper the writer will aim to identify and define the elements of the SMARTER framework for effective goal setting and provide examples where necessary. The writer will then expand on the SMARTER framework in particular, goal setting in the context of a SWOT analysis of the business, J. Boag and Son. Following this the writer will identify and define the set of ‘formal’ and ‘informal’ that a marketing manager has at their disposal when completing their elected marketing goals. The SMARTER framework (or more commonly refered to as SMART) in short stands for: • Specific & Measureable • Motivating • Achievable • Relevant • Trackable and Time bound • Exciting • Rewarding To expand on the aforementioned description starting with ‘S’ – Specific & Measureable, this can be defined as the process where the marketing manager states their goals in a measureable way. A goal must be specific, illustrating a single key result. If more than one result is planned on being successfully achieved then more than more than one goal should be set out. Knowing what the business aims to achieve can provide the biggest step toward achieving it. It is paramount that an organization has a goal to help guide its eventual destiny. It pays to mention that the goal itself cannot guarantee the eventual success of an organization. Having a goal can result in more efficient and financially less wasteful management of operations. For a business goal to be effective it must provide...

...Value Alignment paper James Lee, Rekima Malvo, Brent Davis, Ruby Afamasaga BUS/475 February 24, 2014 William Stevenson Value alignment is the idea of making sure that everyone in the organization from senior management down to hourly employees is operating on the same page. Because different people have different values it can create weaknesses in an organization by damaging group dynamics and creating unhealthy conflicts which can escalate over time (Green, 2006). PepsiCo is a company that is committed to delivering sustained growth through empowered people, acting responsibly, and building trust among its employees and customers. This paper will take PepsiCo and analyze the origin and subsequent evolution of personal and workplace values. It will explain how individual values drive actions and behaviors and analyze the degree of alignment between Pepsi’s stated values and its actual plans and actions. Finally, we will analyze the degree of alignment between personal and organizational values as reflected by PepsiCo’s plans and actions. Personal and Workplace Values Our personal values derive from our experiences, personal aspirations, culture, society, and some values are learned and passed down through the generations. Our values, in a sense, drive our actions which result in if and how we accomplish things. Values are important for not only individuals, but organizations as well. Organizational values should be directly connected with personal values. Organizations...

...Reflection 1: Plan of Care This reflection paper is compiled on the care of a patient that was admitted to Providence Holy Cross Medical Center with a diagnosis of a severe traumatic brain injury, pulmonary contusion, respiratory failure, and multiple fractures of the extremities. Due to the severity of the trauma, the patient was closely monitored in the ICU on 3/2/15. In this reflection paper, I will focus on the pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, treatments, interventions, and evaluations of care regarding the diagnosis of severe traumatic brain injury for the patient, JL, and compare and contrast the care to the textbook reading for similarities or differences. A traumatic brain injury can occur due to either a blow or jolt to the head, which causes the normal functioning of the brain to be disrupted causing a wide array of physical and cognitive problems. The patient, JL, arrived at the Emergency Department after a motorcycle accident where his motorcycle crashed with a truck, suffering extensive injuries and brain damage from a closed head injury. A closed head injury is the result of blunt trauma; the integrity of the skull is not violated and is more serious of the two types of injury, and the damage to brain tissue depends on the degree and mechanisms of injury, (Ignatavicius, 2013). This type of injury differs from an open head injury because the skull would have been compromised, exposing the brain to outside, environmental contaminants. On the medical record...

...Challenges of E-Commerce MKT552 The Challenges of E-Commerce Today’s business managers face many challenges when migrating a traditional ‘brick and mortar’ company to that which is now known as the evolutionary ‘click and mortar’ business model – that is, a business that operates in the Internet market space.
