...are an up and coming music artist who is about to release your first CD. One of the major things that has inspired you is the Constitution, specifically the amendments (you loved Ms. Wunderlich’s class that much!). For this assignment, you will create a CD that lists your song titles. The song titles will all reflect the chosen amendments below. (i.e. you do not need to do all 27 amendments…just the ones listed below). Also, your CD will only include the song titles, NOT the whole song. To create your CD, think of a particular type of music you want to do (country, classic rock, hip/hop, rap) and create a cover that represents that theme. Then , look at what each amendment discusses and create the title of a song that would be about that amendment. For example, a song about the first amendment might be “I say, I say, I say what I want” which reflects the idea of freedom of speech. You may not use the name of the amendment as a song title. For example, I do not want to see Track 1: Freedom of Speech, Track 2: Right to Bear Arms. When you list your song titles, the track numbers must match the number of your amendment. For example, a song about women voting needs to be track #19. *Your CD must be of high quality and well put together and colorful. CD’s that are written in pen or pencil on lined sheet of paper will not be graded. To reiterate, this is what you will turn into me: CD with 19 song titles that match their amendment numbers with a cover that reflects a genre...

...expectations for homework, then provide and enforce logical, meaningful consequences if those expectations are not met. Make Doing Homework a Positive Experience • Provide support and praise for homework completion. • Be available to provide non-critical assistance. • Give children choice in when, where, and how they complete homework assignments. • Encourage your children to complete homework well enough that they have a sense of pride and control over their own learning and levels of competence. • Maintain a positive and helpful attitude: avoid criticism and anger. • Help children understand what types of homework they enjoy, and encourage them to choose assignments accordingly. When given a choice, some students prefer written reports; others prefer hands-on projects. • Use homework preferences in developing a homework schedule. Some children prefer to complete the assignments they like least first, while others prefer to do their easier or favorite work first. • If a child dislikes a subject, find ways to make it less frustrating. For example, set a goal of doing five math problems and then taking a stretch, listening briefly to music, or playing with a preferred game or toy. • Encourage your children to participate in study groups with friends. Research shows that children who form study groups perform better than children who always study alone. This is particularly appropriate with middle school and high school students. • Encourage your child to have fun, such...

...To begin this assignment, I reviewed the label contents of numerous music CDs that I have in my possession. During my review, I noted the common elements of information listed on the each CD cover. Usually, on the front or back cover of the CD, you can find the title of the CD album, the name of the artist(s), the title of the track(s), the name of the release company, and the name of the album’s producers. In some cases, on the inside of the cover I found the lyrics for each track. And some of the information I found described the entire album, while other data found described a single track. I used the information from my review as the basis for the following relation: There are several reasons for normalizing this relation. We are storing data about musical CDs.

Assignment 2: 21st Century Leadership Due Week 8 and worth 300 points The 20th and 21st centuries have produced many business leaders, such as corporate giants like Jack Welch of GE, Daymond John of FUBU, Steve Jobs of Apple, and Herb Kelleher of Southwest. In addition, many hip-hop moguls have risen to prominence, such as Sean Combs, aka P Diddy, of Bad Boy Records; Russell Simmons, founder of Def Jam; and Sean Carter, aka Jay Z, of Rock Nation. Regardless of their business models and industries, organizational leaders are expected to create realistic visions for their companies and the people that they guide. However, such visions often result in vastly different leadership styles. Therefore, experts have concluded that there is no one best leadership style geared towards guiding employees and companies to accomplishing organizational goals. Using the Internet and Strayer databases, research your favorite senior executive (CEO, CFO, COO, Director, President, Founder, etc.) from any organization that has made a strong impact on his or her industry (fashion, music, food, banking, technology, automotive, etc.). Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you: Describe the overall leadership style(s) of your chosen senior executive...
