Location: Where do you want your myth to be set? What culture? Briefly research three cultures and/or three locations and the cultures connected to them. Provide a brief description of each. Choose one and explain why you chose it. 2. What type of myth: Creation myth? The relationships between Gods and Goddesses? Trickster? Death and the Underworld? Choose your overarching topic carefully, even looking ahead in the book if necessary or at other sources. 3. Who are your gods and goddesses? Who are the other characters? Most myths contain Gods and Goddesses, so try to read around other Gods and Goddesses you are interested in. Use traits or parts of their myths to build your own. For example, Thor, the Viking God of War and Lightning, had a hammer he used to create thunder. Your God/ess could have a similar instrument for creating a problem in your story. 4. Understand the rules for creating myths in the culture you choose. This may mean a feature of speech such as repetition ‘Fee, Fi, Fo Fum…’ or the rule of three; ‘three fairies’ or ‘three boxes’. Use this within your own myth to create the structure. Don’t worry if it isn’t perfect, or is totally different, there are always exclusions to the rule. Be inventive, while stick to your cultural or historical setting. 5. Invent appropriate names: Naming your characters and settings is vital but you don’t need to work them out immediately. You want the names to fit the culture you are creating. So a goddess name Tiffany in a Scandinavian medieval saga, not so much, unless you can make it work (sorry Tim Gunn). Make them pronounceable, especially if they are meant to be read aloud. Research names that would be used in your culture or words in the language your culture speaks that are attributes that might work as names. Resolve your myth: Create the world. Tell us how something was created (such as and that is how the God/dess created the seasons). Resolve the relationship between the god/desses and mortals. Vanquish a monster that represents some evil in your world. If you kill of your main character, there must be a reason why. All events in a myth are relevant to the story. Include a message or moral, something rel

School leaders have found many benefits from the implementation of action research methodology to initiate the change process (Buczynski & Hansen, 2014; Mills, 2014). It has been stated that action research “has been and continues to be a process of practical and grounded inquiry that reflects in its origins the empowerment of teacher to identify and solve their own problems” (Stringer, 2007, p. 32). Further, Buczynski and Hansen (2014 p. 365) explain that action research provides a clear path to understanding change because it is a “powerful tool” that guides our decisions and practices. As you have now finished implementing your intervention/innovation directly, this discussion provides the opportunity to prepare your data analysis as is expected for the final project, and to share it in the discussion forum for the purpose of providing and receiving feedback from your peers. This collaboration and preparation will further inform your analysis and revisions in preparation for the final project in Week Six.

Initial Post: Post your data analysis as an attachment following the format outlined below:

 

• Data Collection Strategies: In one-to-two pages, describe the data obtained through the observations. Charts, diagrams, or other visual depictions of your data may be included.
• Outcome Analysis: In one-to-two pages, present your conclusions of your data analysis. Explain the specific strategies that were successful, which strategies did not work as well as was anticipated? Additionally, explain how the strategies support the research questions.

 

Guided Response: You are encouraged to respond as quickly as possible on or even before Day 3, as the information you provide and receive from others will help refine the analysis in Week Six. In responses to two of your peers, comment on the data analysis presented in the initial post. Ask questions for clarification from your peers to encourage continued conversation and provide feedback about their data analysis, themes, trends that will assist them in developing their final analysis and action plan. Again, though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you including the instructor to further the conversation while giving you opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real world experiences with this topic.

Economic Analysis Paper Three: Macroeconomic Variables

Company Selected is Target Stores

Your third analysis paper is about the macroeconomic variables affecting firm or industry performance. Using your company selection, complete the following main elements:

 

1) Identify three to five macroeconomic variables that affect the demand for and/or supply of the products or services produced by your company or industry. For example, if you are analyzing a consumer product, such as television sets or computers, you might include consumer income, energy prices, wage rates, and interest rates.

 

2) Find historical data (three to five years) for these variables for one of the countries in which your company or industry has a major presence.Develop your own graphs and/or tables showing the data, and discuss how the variables have changed over the period you are examining.Do not copy and paste data from other websites, but use the available data to create your own table or graph.

 

3) Compare changes in the macroeconomic variables to changes in the company data you collected in analysis papers one and two. What observations can you make about the effects of movements in macroeconomic variables on the company’s performance?

You are required to answer all five (5) of the questions. Although there is no set word limit for these essay questions,you will be graded on your knowledge of the material and the detail with which you write your answers. You should take care to cite your sources in APA format and provide full references in a Works Cited list.

 

1.  Modern astronomy basically begins with the re-emergence of the

heliocentric view of the universe by Copernicus.   Who were the four other

major contributors to the development of modern astronomy after Copernicus?

Explain what those contributions were.  Finally, why did it take so long for

the geocentric view of the universe to be overthrown and what does that tell

us about scientific research and our society, even today?

 

2.  Explain the relationship of geography to other scientific disciplines.

What is a good definition for geography or the geosciences in general?  What

are the strengths and weaknesses of geography as a discipline and how do you

think that has influenced its development, or lack thereof?

 

3.  Weather and climate are separate, but related, terms.  Provide a

definition of each and then give an example of a concept related to both

weather and climate.  Additionally, since they are important issues when

dealing with the subject of climate today, what is the greenhouse effect and

global warming?  Are they the same thing?  If not, how are they different?

What influence would global warming have on “nature” and our lives?

 

4.  Explain the pressure gradient force, the Coriolis Effect and the

frictional force and their effects on the direction and speed of air at the

surface and aloft in the atmosphere.  Describe the wind and pressure systems

(surface and aloft) that exist in the zone from the Equator to the North

Pole in the Northern Hemisphere.  There is a close relationship between

atmospheric pressure patterns, wind zones and precipitation patterns.  The

global map of total annual rainfall shows great differences in precipitation

received from place to place.  Using at least 3 reasons, explain why this is

so

 

.

5.  Compare/contrast the Mediterranean (Csa) climate found along the coast of

southern California and the humid subtropical (Cfa) climate found in South

Carolina.  Considering that comparison, also explain why the western United

States has dramatically different climates from the eastern United States.

An important consideration when considering climate and climatic change

today is the role of El Nino.  Explain the ocean/atmosphere changes that

take during an El Nino/ENSO cycle and the effects these changes have on our

lives and societies.
