This week, we have learned in Chapter 4 of the textbook about fo
This week, we have learned in Chapter 4 of the textbook about four different types of informative speaking: speeches about objects, speeches about processes, speeches about events, speeches about concepts. After reading about the types of speeches, think about a speech that you have heard that fits the description of one of these types of speeches. The speech may have been heard on television or radio, on the Internet, or in-person. In the post, be sure to respond to each of the following (for discussion post only – not for use as speech outline):
What was the type of informative speaking used in the speech you selected?
How would you describe the type of informative speaking used in your own words?
What was the most appealing part of this type of informative speaking?
What was the least appealing aspect of this type of informative speaking?
What would you have done differently as the speaker?
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references according to APA formatting as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Appendix F
Research Plan
As part of your Research Plan, you must draft a research question for your research paper. A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that you will answer in your paper. For example, if your general area of interest is Social Security, a potential research question might ask, “How might low-income families save more money under a reformed Social Security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?”
As you develop a research question, keep in mind that you will research sources with both supporting and differing viewpoints. Do not select a narrow or one-sided issue that will limit your research; instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate.
What is your topic or area of interest?
In what ways is this topic appropriate for a persuasive essay?
What is your research question?
How is your research question significant or relevant to the wider community?
What background information provides the preliminary grounds for your research?
What are some expert or authoritative sources of information for your topic?
What types of materials do you expect to review for your research paper?
What procedures will you follow to conduct your research?
What difficulties do you anticipate in conducting your research and supporting your side of the issue?

Speech AnalysisYour task here is to analyze the writing and .docx
Speech Analysis
Your task here is to analyze the writing and effectiveness of the following three speeches, and provide a
written critique of each. See guidelines for each kind of speech below. About half a page for each
speech is the appropriate length.
1) Persuasive Speech
I apologize for the image quality in the following video, but upon watching it you will understand why
I wanted to include this persuasive speech anyway. It is Severn Suzuki (David Suzuki's daughter)
appealing to the United Nations on behalf of all children.
The girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes

2) Informative Speech
Speech to Inform by Scott L Tauber (for college speech or public speaking courses)

3) Entertaining Speech

The Big Three
It is a common understanding that there are three main purposes to give a speech or presentation: to
inform, to persuade, or to entertain. Of course, there are no distinct separations – in order to persuade
you must inform, and lectures can be entertaining and informative at the same time. The key is to ask
what the end 'purpose' is. Towards that purpose, different techniques in preparing and speaking can be
employed.
1) Informative Speeches:
Speeches that inform are designed, as the name suggests, to convey information. These include
anything from a voice message saying when and where a meeting will take place, to a university
lecture. Testimonies in court, high school presentations, and YouTube videos on how to do something
are likewise members of this category.
Example of Informative Speech Analysis:
“This is a great example of an informative speech. Let's look at some of the elements that made it so
effective.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2wCTgss4bY&feature=player_embedded
“Her introduction activated the audience's interest by making them think about what their life would be
like with no hair. She then hooks their interest in the topic by making the subject personal, and taking
off her hair prosthesis. She also tells the audience exactly which aspects of alopecia she will be talking
about.
During the body of the speech, she explains technical terms to make the information accessible to the
audience, and she maintains a friendly tone. She even makes a few jokes, for example, "I don't wear
makeup for the nose hairs...." She relates the topic to the audience as well by explaining that if they are
worried about losing their hair, they can't go to a doctor and find out because it's unpredictable.
She presents her points in a very clear, organized and logical fashion.
Her conclusion sums up the speech, and reite.

This week, we have learned in Chapter 4 of the textbook about four different types of informative speaking: speeches about objects, speeches about processes, speeches about events, speeches about concepts. After reading about the types of speeches, think about a speech that you have heard that fits the description of one of these types of speeches. The speech may have been heard on television or radio, on the Internet, or in-person. In the post, be sure to respond to each of the following (for discussion post only – not for use as speech outline):
What was the type of informative speaking used in the speech you selected?
How would you describe the type of informative speaking used in your own words?
What was the most appealing part of this type of informative speaking?
What was the least appealing aspect of this type of informative speaking?
What would you have done differently as the speaker?
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references according to APA formatting as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Appendix F
Research Plan
As part of your Research Plan, you must draft a research question for your research paper. A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that you will answer in your paper. For example, if your general area of interest is Social Security, a potential research question might ask, “How might low-income families save more money under a reformed Social Security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?”
As you develop a research question, keep in mind that you will research sources with both supporting and differing viewpoints. Do not select a narrow or one-sided issue that will limit your research; instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate.
What is your topic or area of interest?
In what ways is this topic appropriate for a persuasive essay?
What is your research question?
How is your research question significant or relevant to the wider community?
What background information provides the preliminary grounds for your research?
What are some expert or authoritative sources of information for your topic?
What types of materials do you expect to review for your research paper?
What procedures will you follow to conduct your research?
What difficulties do you anticipate in conducting your research and supporting your side of the issue?

Speech AnalysisYour task here is to analyze the writing and .docx
Speech Analysis
Your task here is to analyze the writing and effectiveness of the following three speeches, and provide a
written critique of each. See guidelines for each kind of speech below. About half a page for each
speech is the appropriate length.
1) Persuasive Speech
I apologize for the image quality in the following video, but upon watching it you will understand why
I wanted to include this persuasive speech anyway. It is Severn Suzuki (David Suzuki's daughter)
appealing to the United Nations on behalf of all children.
The girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes

2) Informative Speech
Speech to Inform by Scott L Tauber (for college speech or public speaking courses)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2wCTgss4bY&feature=player_embedded
3) Entertaining Speech

The Big Three
It is a common understanding that there are three main purposes to give a speech or presentation: to
inform, to persuade, or to entertain. Of course, there are no distinct separations – in order to persuade
you must inform, and lectures can be entertaining and informative at the same time. The key is to ask
what the end 'purpose' is. Towards that purpose, different techniques in preparing and speaking can be
employed.
1) Informative Speeches:
Speeches that inform are designed, as the name suggests, to convey information. These include
anything from a voice message saying when and where a meeting will take place, to a university
lecture. Testimonies in court, high school presentations, and YouTube videos on how to do something
are likewise members of this category.
Example of Informative Speech Analysis:
“This is a great example of an informative speech. Let's look at some of the elements that made it so
effective.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQmz6Rbpnu0&feature=player_embedded
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APdSHPBPLLY&feature=player_embedded
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2wCTgss4bY&feature=player_embedded
“Her introduction activated the audience's interest by making them think about what their life would be
like with no hair. She then hooks their interest in the topic by making the subject personal, and taking
off her hair prosthesis. She also tells the audience exactly which aspects of alopecia she will be talking
about.
During the body of the speech, she explains technical terms to make the information accessible to the
audience, and she maintains a friendly tone. She even makes a few jokes, for example, "I don't wear
makeup for the nose hairs...." She relates the topic to the audience as well by explaining that if they are
worried about losing their hair, they can't go to a doctor and find out because it's unpredictable.
She presents her points in a very clear, organized and logical fashion.
Her conclusion sums up the speech, and reite.

Reflect:
When considering a research topic, consider an interesting topic that is worth further research. For instance, having a strong opinion on a specific topic may deter you from thinking more critically, and therefore the research might end up being one-sided. It is a good idea to pick a topic in which you can provide a good argument for both sides of the societal issue.
Write:
For this discussion, address the following prompts:
Identify a global societal issue from the following list that you would consider researching further for your Week 5 Final Paper:
Climate change
Pollution
Religious conflict and violence
Rise of artificial intelligence
Lack of education
Unemployment and lack of economic opportunity
Government accountability and corruption
Food and water security
International drug trafficking
Poverty and income inequality
Describe effective methods you used in identifying and narrowing down to just one of the topics to further research for your Final Paper.
Explain three ways you can critically analyze sources to determine if they are scholarly.
Summarize information from at least two scholarly journal articles from the Ashford University Library that will support your claims for your chosen topic.
Explain why scholarly sources should be used to support your writing on the selected topic.
Download and attach a PDF copy of one of the peer-reviewed scholarly articles that you found from the Ashford University Library to your answer using the “Attach” function located below your response.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length, which should include a thorough response to each prompt. You are required to provide in-text citations of applicable required reading materials and/or any other outside sources you use to support your claims. Provide full reference entries of all sources cited at the end of your response. Please use correct APA format when writing in-text citations (see

Cover Letter
One aspect of strategic planning is to develop a strong team of people. Discovering and retaining top talent may lead a company to success. Your goal for this journal assignment is to showcase why you would make a good candidate for an organization. To stand out from other candidates, you will want to write a cover letter for each position in which you apply. Cover letters allow you an opportunity to highlight your skills and competencies for potential employers.
For this assignment, you will develop a cover letter, reflect on your most relevant skills, and assess what action steps you can take to make your cover letter stronger.
To write an impactful cover letter, you should answer the following questions before you begin composing it. Starting with these questions will help provide a clear and concise message for the person reading your cover letter.
Why are you interested in the position? Consider what makes the position, organization, or company interesting to you.
What three skills or competencies do you possess that match the skills the employer is seeking in a candidate?
You can find these skills by viewing the job description. These specific skills are the reason every cover letter should be unique for each job you apply for.
Begin by reviewing the following Forbes’ articles:
Forget Cover Letters – Write A Pain Letter, Instead! (Links to an external site.)
Stop! Don’t Send That Cover Letter (Links to an external site.)
Tips For The Perfect Resume And Cover Letter (Links to an external site.)
Once you have reviewed the articles, identify a position of interest as a potential job opportunity. You may use any job search website. Two popular employment websites are
Indeed (Links to an external site.)
and CareerBuilder. After you identify a position of interest, use the job description to identify three skills or qualifications that match your background. Next, develop a cover letter by creating a three- to four-sentence paragraph highlighting your matching skills.
Carefully review the

Getting Started
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Romans 12:2 (New International Version)
So often, we are quick to judge our neighbors and others around us. Today's society has allowed us to forget what Christ has taught us: to love thy neighbor. Romans 12:2 is a blueprint that is set forth to show us how each one of us should transform our character and renew our mind. The biblical perspective recognizes the active opposition of a personal adversary. In the business world, we diversify ourselves with others from all walks of life, not knowing that God has placed each of us together for the common good. Thinking back on your workplace, how do you engage with others from other backgrounds? Do you place judgment on others? Do you reflect your views on social media and other blogging components?

Cover Letter
One aspect of strategic planning is to develop a strong team of people. Discovering and retaining top talent may lead a company to success. Your goal for this journal assignment is to showcase why you would make a good candidate for an organization. To stand out from other candidates, you will want to write a cover letter for each position in which you apply. Cover letters allow you an opportunity to highlight your skills and competencies for potential employers.
For this assignment, you will develop a cover letter, reflect on your most relevant skills, and assess what action steps you can take to make your cover letter stronger.
To write an impactful cover letter, you should answer the following questions before you begin composing it. Starting with these questions will help provide a clear and concise message for the person reading your cover letter.
Why are you interested in the position? Consider what makes the position, organization, or company interesting to you.
What three skills or competencies do you possess that match the skills the employer is seeking in a candidate?
You can find these skills by viewing the job description. These specific skills are the reason every cover letter should be unique for each job you apply for.
Begin by reviewing the following Forbes’ articles:
Forget Cover Letters – Write A Pain Letter, Instead! (Links to an external site.)
Stop! Don’t Send That Cover Letter (Links to an external site.)
Tips For The Perfect Resume And Cover Letter (Links to an external site.)
Once you have reviewed the articles, identify a position of interest as a potential job opportunity. You may use any job search website. Two popular employment websites are
Indeed (Links to an external site.)
and CareerBuilder. After you identify a position of interest, use the job description to identify three skills or qualifications that match your background. Next, develop a cover letter by creating a three- to four-sentence paragraph highlighting your matching skills.
Carefully review the

Getting Started
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Romans 12:2 (New International Version)
So often, we are quick to judge our neighbors and others around us. Today's society has allowed us to forget what Christ has taught us: to love thy neighbor. Romans 12:2 is a blueprint that is set forth to show us how each one of us should transform our character and renew our mind. The biblical perspective recognizes the active opposition of a personal adversary. In the business world, we diversify ourselves with others from all walks of life, not knowing that God has placed each of us together for the common good. Thinking back on your workplace, how do you engage with others from other backgrounds? Do you place judgment on others? Do you reflect your views on social media and other blogging components? Is this right?

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1.4 modern child centered education - mahatma gandhi-2.pptx
Child centred education is an educational approach that priorities the interest, needs and abilities of the child in the learning process.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
