Define “syncretism” and explain why syncretism is an important phenomena in the Caribbean. Read Miguel Barnet, “Biography of a Runaway Slave,” Alejo Carpentier, “Journey Back to the Source,” and Nicolás Guillen “Bongo Song” through the lens of the “repeating island” and look for syncretism. Identify the examples of African culture and what examples of European culture appear in each piece.

Goal of this assignment: To create a two-to-five-minute presentation on a topic of your choice within the period covered by History 310. This assignment will require you to pick a theme in US history, do some research on it, pick a presentation tool that works for you, and create a presentation that you will submit online by 5/19/20. I expect this entire process will take you from 3 to 5.5 hours, depending on the time it takes you to do research and learn how to use the presentation tool. Part 1 (approximately 5-10 minutes): Pick your topic from one of the following: Culture and Fun (Think sports, fashion, music, etc.) Work and Money Race Sex and Gender California before 1877 Native Americans (pre-Columbian exchange) Colonial New England Colonial South Revolution and Building a New Nation Pre-Civil War South Pre-Civil War North Civil War Reconstruction Part 2 (approximately 1.5 to 3 hours): Do some research on your topic. In your presentation, you will want to cover the following topics: general introduction of the history of this overall topic and why it’s important (broad and general is fine here) one idea or ideology that was relevant to your topic and how it impacted US history one influential item or material good that was relevant to your topic one person or group who had a lot of influence on the US related to this topic (describe this person/group and how she/he/they influenced history — for a group, it could be an organization like a social movement or even a business or other type of group, so feel free to be creative) one place that is representative of your topic (This should be a place that represents something for your topic and it could be big or small, specific or general… a plantation, a baseball field, a church, the Gettysburg battle site, or New York City.) Find and use at least three sources. Part 3 (0 to 30 minutes): Pick a presentation tool. The presentation tool can be as simple or as involved as you’d like. There are tools that can turn your presentation into an animated cartoon, tools that include simple text and images that you insert, and tools that can embed audio and video. I don’t expect you to be a graphic designer, but I do want you to introduce your decade clearly… and I want you to be able to comfortably use a presentation tool to create something. Have fun with this, but don’t spend too long learning a new tool. If you don’t have a “go-to” presentation tool that comes to mind, Check out these two links, read through them, and pick a couple to play with: https://www.codemom.ai/best-online-presentation-tools-for-students/ (Links to an external site.) and https://www.insidehighered.com/digital-learning/views/2017/10/18/free-easy-use-online-presentation-tools (Links to an external site.) Part 4 (approximately 1 to 2 hours): Create your presentation. Make sure you cover all of the bullet points listed for research in part 2. If you want to cover more than one example of any of these issues, go for it. The presentation should be about two to five minutes for someone to go through it. You can be longer if you find you need the time on one of the issues. (You may feel you have more to say about one or two than the others. Go with what feels appropriate to you. I just don’t want a presentation that can be easily understood in one minute.) Please remember to cite your sources within the presentation or in a note when you submit it. Grading Criteria: Historical content: 15 points Did you cover all of the bulleted themes listed in part 2? Does the historical content reflect your own choices of what was important in that topic and is that evident within the presentation? Does the historical content reflect a robust understanding of the themes of this course? Creativity and form of the presentation: 10 points Is this presentation thorough enough that it should require someone at least two minutes to go through it? Does the presentation use media in a creative way? (This doesn’t have to look like it has been created by a professional media designer, but it should embed some visuals.) Does the presentation include the 3+ sources you used — or did you include that in a note when you submitted it?

Develop questions to evaluate PMC’s department leadership.

Create a 10-question employee survey and include the following in your analysis: Develop questions to evaluate PMC’s department leadership. Create 5 questions and a scale. Support your rationale for why these questions and scaling would be effective for collecting and analyzing data to draw valid conclusions. Note: Your survey questions related to department leadership should evaluate different constructs (an idea or theory). For example: “I like working here,” and “I would recommend this job to others” are measuring the same or similar constructs. On the other hand, “I like working here,” and “My supervisor listens to my ideas” are measuring different constructs. Develop questions to assess PMS’s inclusive workplace culture. Create 5 questions and a scale. Support your rationale for why these questions and scaling would be effective for collecting and analyzing data to draw valid conclusions. Note: Your survey questions for assessing an inclusive workplace culture should evaluate different constructs. Recommend how and to whom the survey is distributed. Why is the manner of your distribution important? What demographic data would be most appropriate to gather in the survey? How many employees would make a good representative for the survey findings? As part of the Power Manufacturing Company’s HR team, you have been asked to create a survey for PMC’s Lima plant employees. There are 600 workers at this location. The goal of this survey is to determine the employees’ view of department leadership and whether there is an inclusive workplace culture.

Conduct additional research to understand how this data impacts the likely expectations of these three groups in long term care and community care practices.

You are a program analyst at the American Association of Elderly Citizens (AAEC), a national association in Washington D.C. The association supports consumers by publishing articles pertaining to issues that impact the elderly population in the United States. You were asked by your manager to conduct some research and write an internal memo (https://bizfluent.com/how-7720355-write-internal-memo.html) that will be used by writers for the association’s journal, Elder Care. You were asked to research characteristics of the US population, ages 65 to 95+ years of age. Carve out three age groups spanning from age 65 to 95+. Create a chart that includes the following data points: health, education, marital status and housing. (Tip: start by using the US Census Bureau Statistics). Conduct additional research to understand how this data impacts the likely expectations of these three groups in long term care and community care practices.
