Imagine walking into an elevator and seeing the CEO of the company you have long dreamed of working for. He or she presses the button for the 50th floor, and asks you what floor you need.
DQ1 ELEVATOR SPEECH
This week you will introduce yourself by creating an elevator speech – an important skill in any professional industry.
Imagine walking into an elevator and seeing the CEO of the company you have long dreamed of working for. He or she presses the button for the 50th floor, and asks you what floor you need. You choose 51, even though you were really heading to the 7th floor to see a friend. Based on the speed of the elevator, you estimate you’ve got about a minute.
This is your chance to make an elevator speech, to make a positive impression that you hope will lead to future employment. What will you say?
In your initial post, share your elevator speech. It needs to be concise, clear, and convincing.
In your follow-up posts, provide helpful feedback to at least two other students. Scroll down and look for students who haven’t gotten any replies first.
To earn full credit, each post should be a thoughtful, well written paragraph of several sentences written in your own words.
DQ2 PROFILES
For your first essay, you’ll be writing a profile. A profile is an essay about a person, place, or event. Topic choice is key. Choose a topic that you have personal experience with: a person you know, a place you’ve visited many times, or an event you have attended. In other words, you should not write about LeBron James (unless you know him personally), or the planet Mars (since you haven’t been there), or the end of the world (since it has not happened). Remember the old adage: write about what you know.
In your initial post, tell us about your topic choice. It’s ok if it is tentative at this point, or if you have more than one idea. In this post, tell us who or what your topic is, why you’ve chosen it, and what you want your readers to learn from your essay.
After writing your initial post, read the posts of your fellow students, and provide helpful, detailed, and constructive feedback. Scroll down through the posts and reply to students who have the least number of replies first.
