Posted on | by Kelvin

Icebreakers and Team-Building Activities
Begin by researching ice-breakers and team building exercises. The articles above should get you started, but there are lots of other resources you might look up. What positive things can a good ice-breaker or team activity accomplish?
Now let’s talk about the pitfalls. What can make an ice-breaker or team building activity ineffective? What would you try to avoid if you were designing an icebreaker or team-building activity for a new team that you were managing? In this scenario, no one on the team, including you, has worked together before.
Select a quick icebreaker activity from the ones you’ve researched so far (or create a new one if you like). This should be something your entire team can do in about 5 minutes. If this is an online section, make sure it’s an icebreaker that is possible for your team to do remotely.

Analysis of the Memo on Abuse of Copiers

Posted on | by Kelvin

 

Comment on the effectiveness of the following memo
To: All Employees
From: S. Edwards, General Manager
Subject: Abuse of Copiers
Date: May 10, 20XX

It has recently been brought to my attention that many of the people who are employed by this company have taken advantage of their positions by availing themselves of the copiers. More specifically, these machines are being used for other than company business.

Obviously, such practice is contrary to company policy and must cease and desist immediately. I wish therefore to inform all concerned those who have abused the policy or will be abusing it that their behavior cannot and will not be tolerated. Accordingly, anyone in the future who is unable to control himself will have his employment terminated.

If there are any questions about company policy, please feel free to contact this office.

Unveiling the American Character Through Crevecoeur’s Eyes

Posted on | by Kelvin

 

Crevecoeur attempts in Letter III to explain the American character and to show how it is different from Europe. If someone had never read “What is an American?” how would you explain the general American character as detailed by Crevecoeur? How is this general character different from the society and life styles found in Europe? Then, based on his biography and the historical context, why do you think Crevecoeur is drawing this distinction? Be sure you reference specific examples from the text cited using MLA style in-text citations (along with a Works Cited). Responses without properly cited evidence in each body paragraph from the assigned reading will receive an automatic grade of F.
