It is now time to consider developing your own HR department team to ensure they have the requisite skills and competencies necessary to perform at high levels over time. Effective and motivated HR business partners (HRBP) will be the key to translating HR and business strategy into action. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Body of Competency and Knowledge (BoCK) can be an invaluable resource to help develop and certify HR professionals. You must now explain to the management team the components of this model and how it can be leveraged to achieve operational success for the HR department. A 1-hour meeting has been scheduled and the CEO will be in attendance. 

Create a 20-25 slide minimum PowerPoint presentation with your script/discussion/commentary in the Notes section of each slide in which you: 

1. Include cover, presentation agenda, conclusion, and reference list slides, all of which may count toward total slide count. 

2. Provide a slide with an overview on the importance of having a highly-developed staff of HR business partners. Be clear with your position. HINT: http://www.scottmadden.com/wp-content/uploads/userFiles/misc/8d0d88c7547b6e2b8f6f6fcba6a9d6b3.pdf 

3. Provide 1-4 slides introducing the SHRM BoCK model and its components. Be sure to highlight each of the areas of the model. NOTE: It is highly recommended to insert an image the actual SHRM BoCK model into the presentation. 

4. Include in the remaining slides the following required presentation information: 

o PROVIDE A MINIMUM OF FOUR (4) TO FIVE (5) BULLET POINTS (more if needed) of information or discussion describing specifics on the SHRM-BoCK’s “Behavioral Competencies” 

o Provide a minimum of four (4) to five (5) bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing specifics on the SHRM-BoCK’s “HR Expertise; Domains 1 & 2” 

o Provide a minimum of four (4) to five (5) bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing specifics on the SHRM-BoCK’s “HR Expertise: Domains 3 & 4” 

o Provide a minimum of four (4) to five (5) bullet points (more if needed) of information or discussion describing specifics on certifying your HRBP’s. 

o Reminder – good PowerPoints have very few words on the slides themselves—almost all of the information you need to include should be in the Notes.  

Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. 

 Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements: 

· Select any one of three professional PowerPoint templates provided by the instructor (Required).

· Include citations and references for all information received from other sources. 

· All bullet point information in the Notes sections must be descriptive and have a minimum of 4-5 full sentences. 

 The specific course outcomes associated with this assignment are:  

· Defend the importance of having a highly-developed staff of HR business partners 

· Convince stakeholders of the value in using the SHRM BoCK model to achieve HR operational success.

Overview

For this exercise, you will deepen your understanding of plagiarism by first plagiarizing a source intentionally and then “un-plagiarizing it”. This exercise encourages creativity and critical thinking about what constitutes plagiarism and how to avoid it. Thinking about plagiarism in this creative way is a more effective method for understanding plagiarism than simply reading about it, because it requires critical thinking, which leads to deeper learning. Make sure you have viewed the Canvas page on “Understanding Plagiarism” and read the appropriate chapter in your textbook before attempting this exercise. 

Example

Here is an example of how to complete the assignment. You will see further instructions and your assigned passage below the example. Remember to strive for creativity and to think critically!

Original 

From Shakespeare’s The Twelfth Night Act III, Scene i

O, what a deal of scorn looks beautiful
In the contempt and anger of his lip!
A murderous guilt shows not itself more soon
Than love that would seem hid: love’s night is noon.
Cesario, by the roses of the spring,
By maidhood, honour, truth and every thing,
I love thee so, that, maugre all thy pride,
Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide.
Do not extort thy reasons from this clause,
For that I woo, thou therefore hast no cause,
But rather reason thus with reason fetter,
Love sought is good, but given unsought better.

Plagiarize! 

Ah! Even when he is mad, he still looks absolutely fabulous.
A guilt like one would see on Criminal Minds doesn’t show itself more quickly
Than romance you are trying to keep on the DL; romance’s night is midday.
Cesario, I swear on everything that I love you. Every. Thing.
I am so excited that I just can’t hide it. That’s how much I love you. 
But don’t think just because I love you, you don’t have to treat me right and chase me!
I don’t want any scrub-like gentlemen. So if you like it you should probably put a ring on it.

Un-Plagiarize!

In Act III, Scene i of Twelfth Night, Olivia declares that she cannot hide her love for “Cesario.” In her monologue, she states that love cannot be hidden, that in fact it is easier for a murderer to hide his crime than someone who is in love to hide their feelings. Olivia reminds “Cesario” though, that simply because she loves him does not mean that as a woman, she does not wish to be pursued. Her closing line, “Love sought is good, but given unsought better” speaks to the desire she has to be treated romantically by “Cesario”, even though he knows she already loves him (Twelfth Night 3.1.129). 

Process and Instructions 

As you can see from the example above, the plagiarized version of the soliloquy, though perhaps humorous and creative, is an unacceptable paraphrase of the original text. The writer simply changed some of the words and “updated” it with more recent examples, but it is obviously not the author’s own work. In addition, the writer added another layer of plagiarism by quoting Beyonce without attribution! The “Un-Plagiarize” example, however, is more in line with how you use summary, paraphrase, and quotation in order to cite a source in an academic essay. 

Steps for Completing this assignment:

1. For the passage below, write an intentionally plagiarized version of the text and then “un-plagiarize it”, reworking it into the form you might use in an academic essay. 
2. After you post your own reply, you will be interacting with your peers through the “Peer Review” feature. You will receive notice AFTER THE ASSIGNMENT DEADLINE that you have a Peer Review to complete (see this Canvas tutorial for more if you have never used the Peer Review feature in Canvas). 
3. Leave comments that illustrate active reading and critical thinking, and one of the badges for your peer in the “Comment” section of the page. You should explain to your peer why you have awarded them that specific badge. You must compose your own post in writing, but you may leave audio or video comments for your peer. The microphone or film icons in the comment box allow you to record feedback. Your comments should be more than an expression of agreement or value (like/dislike), and should be meaningful–you should ask a question, follow up on an idea, contribute a new idea or way of thinking, explore a new perspective, connect to your classmate’s idea, answer a question, and so on. (Tip: Make sure you have read the Badges and Feedback Canvas page in this module.)
4. Peer reviews should be completed within 72 hours of original submission deadline.

Remember to have fun and be creative with this assignment! Learning through creative processes is one of the best ways to retain knowledge and be able to transfer your learning to other contexts.

Assigned Passage 

Engraved on the doors of Gringott’s bank in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone:

Enter stranger, but take heed 
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned; beware
Of finding more than treasure there. (57)

For today:

• Scaffolding Essay 1
• Thesis statements
• Watching an example commercial and getting a thesis out of it

Question of the day – favorite TV show?

Scaffolding an essay

• Pretty much any essay you write for a class like this will have the following sections
  • Introduction
  • Background
  • Argument
  • Conclusion
• As your write longer, more complicated and complex essays, each section will get longer and more complicated, but will still be present
  • Writing for different disciplines will have different expectations, but will have similar sections you can learn to rely on
• For the specifics of essay 1
  • Introduction – 1 paragraph
    • Something to attract your reader’s attention
    • Basic definitions of your product and company
    • Title and information about the ad so that people can look it up
    • Thesis
  • Background – 2 to 3ish paragraphs
    • Summary of the ad
    • Context for company
    • Context for product
  • Argument – 2 to 3ish paragraphs
    • Who is the target audience?
    • How does the ad sell its product or idea to that target audience?
    • What strategies does it use to sell the product?
    • How does it compare to other commercials for similar product and/or from similar companies?
  • Conclusion – 1 paragraph
    • Reaffirm your thesis and argument
    • Conclude by reasserting the main thing you’re claiming about how the commercial functions

Starting the writing process – have a thesis statement

• I recommend, as part of your prewriting and before starting any serious drafting, having a thesis statement
• Thesis statements – the last sentence or two of your introduction that clearly state what your argument is going to be
  • In this case for essay 1, that clearly states who the commercial is targeting and how they appeal to that audience
• Thesis statements do useful things for the author, the audience, and the text
  • Author – because it clearly states your intentions, it’s a useful thing to come back to in order to guide you
  • Audience – it signals to your audience what the thing is going to be about, and what they should expect
  • Text – it tells you what sort of evidence your text should have and how it should be used
• EVERYTHING in your essay needs to come back to the thesis in some way
  • Everything will either directly support your main argument as stated in your thesis
  • Or set up something else that will
• Be open to the idea of a working thesis
  • Everything in your essay is subject to change and revision. This includes your thesis
  • It’s easier to change a couple of sentences to match the pages you’ve written than to change the pages to match a couple of sentences
  • Your first thesis should not be the perfect thesis that you end up with at the end of the process
    • It should be good enough to get your writing
  • When you have finished a drafts, ask yourself “did I write about what my thesis said I would? What do I need to change about my thesis to make this question true?”
    • Pro tip – rough drafts of conclusions often have thesis statement material in them
• How to generate a thesis – TOR
  • Topic – what am I writing about?
  • Opinion – what do I think about what I’m writing about?
  • Reason – why do I think what I do about what I’m writing about?
  • Answer these questions and put them all together into a thesis

Let’s practice – considering audience and generating a working thesis

• As we watch this commercial, consider – are you part of the target audience or not?
  • If you consider yourself part of the target audience, what in the commercial appeals to you to make you want to buy the thing?
    • SMASH ANNOUNCMENT
  • If you don’t consider yourself part of the target audience, what questions do you have about the commercial that you think are important enough to need answers? What DO you recognize?
    • Who are all these characters? Particularly the squid children
    • Are they playing paint ball? INK ball? What?
    • Why is Mario all dark and ominous?
    • What kind of game is this?
    • What’s with the symbol and is it dangerous?
    • Where was this aired? E3 2018 Nintendo Direct
• Getting into the target audience…what defines the Nintendo fan?
  • Children
  • Nostalgic adults
  • Longtime fans
  • Young adults
  • Families, groups
  • Who isn’t?
    • Non-gamers
    • People who for whatever reason don’t like Nintendo
    • People who play the kinds of games you don’t usually see on Nintendo platforms
• Thesis statement
  • Topic – this commercial for a video game
  • Opinion – this commercial is targeted directly at long-time fans of this series who will buy it no matter what
  • Reason – this commercial doesn’t have much in it for people that don’t already know what the game is. Instead, it just announces that the game will exist and teases some of the new content.
  • Thesis – this commercial for a new Super Smash Brothers game targets exclusively longtime fans of the series by announcing that the game is going to come out the year the trailer dropped, and by teasing some new content. It rightly assumes that all it needs to do for that audience is announce that the game is happening.

Now consider your commercial

• Take a few minutes right now to write a working thesis using the TOR method
  • Topic – what is your ad?
  • Opinion – what do you think the ad’s audience is and how it targets them?
  • Reason – why do you think that?
  • Put this all into one statement

Side note – consider as your audience your peers in the class and in English 1A classes like it all over the country. There’s very little you can predict everyone in this audience is aware of and has equal knowledge of. You need to ask yourselves always “what does my audience need to know about this topic for them to be able to follow my

Begin Readings for Lesson 4  Using the Discussion Question Threads, students will respond to writing prompts which are statements that focus on a topic or an issue, followed by questions. The purpose of an essay prompt is to inspire a response in the form of an essay, which will test your writing, reasoning, and analytical skills these will follow the reading assignments for each unit.  Persuasive Prompts  The purpose of persuasive writing is to convince the reader that a point of view is valid and/or that the reader should take a specific action. It is important in persuasive writing to address the potential concerns and questions of the audience as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the “other” side. These should be approached in a way that ultimately supports the student’s own position.  For persuasive prompts use the cue words convince, persuade, and why. Persuasive prompts should avoid the word how because it tends to elicit narrative, descriptive, or expository writing.     How to write a Persuasive prompt:     1.Look for the words “convince, persuade, and why” in the writing prompt for a persuasive prompt. 2.Brainstorm about what the prompt is asking you to write about. 3.Create a thesis statement. … 4.Think of strong topic sentences that support your thesis statement. 5.Compose the introduction for your essay. 6.Write the body of the essay. 7.Add your conclusion.  Responses should be written in 4-5 paragraph (minimum) form.

The economic role that aviation plays in countries’ economies varies greatly – some as high as 16% of GDP and some as low as 1% of GDP (in the U.S., it’s about 5% of GDP). For this discussion, you will select a European, Asian, or African country and research the impact that aviation plays in its economy (usually reported as a percent of the country’s GDP). Use what you have learned in the earlier activities to critically analyze that country’s transportation system and postulate reasons behind the role that aviation plays.

Your initial discussion post should be succinct (only about 200–300 words) and include references to your sources.

Preferably use Kenya airways.
