Last week, you analyzed your audience and purpose and found research to prepare your presentation for next week’s Communications Conference. You must post that presentation by Thursday midnight of Week 8. Again, look ahead to the instructions for the Week 8 presentation!
This week, participate in ONE of the following threads in preparation for the conference next week. Follow these instructions for adding images, audio, and video.
Thread 1: Social Media
As a presenter next week, you have been asked to help promote the conference on social media. Before Thursday midnight, post an initial message that does both of the following:
Provide a social media message appropriate for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, or other social media platform. The message should encourage participation in next week’s communications conference, specifically your presentation at that conference. Be creative!
Discuss the strategies you used in your social media message by answering the following questions:
Which social media platform would your posting be most appropriate for (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) and why did you choose that platform for advertising the conference?
What 2-3 specific strategies discussed in the Week 7 lesson did you use in your posting and why? How has a real business used these strategies in one of its social media messages? Share the social media message and discuss how it used those same 2-3 strategies! Thread 2: Podcasts
As a presenter next week, you have been asked to help promote the conference through the podcast series on your company’s website. Before Thursday midnight, post a 2–6-minute podcast about the topic of your Week 8 presentation.
To be courteous to all, including those who may be unable to hear the podcast, the recording must use captions OR a text transcript must be included. (The average speaking time is 100-150 words per minute, so the transcript of a 2–6-minute podcast would be 200-900 words.) For a concise and clear recording, preparing a transcript in advance helps!
Use this podcast as a “rough draft” or overview of the presentation you will create for next week, since that presentation also requires audio.
Thread 3: Blogs
Review the APU Edge blogs specific to Careers and Business. Before Thursday midnight, write a blog posting about the topic of your Week 8 presentation. This posting should be appropriate for publication on APU Edge! (Here is an example: How to Emphasize the Positive in Business Writing.) Use this blog as a “rough draft” or overview of the presentation you will create for next week. You can even submit your blog for publication to APU Edge, which would be something to add to your résumé!
Thread 4: Visual Aids
The Week 8 presentation requires an original visual aid created by you. This visual might be a pie chart, bar chart, line chart, infographic, flowchart, etc. Before Thursday midnight, post an initial message that does both of the following:
Provide the visual that you created.
Discuss the development of your visual by answering the following questions:
What source(s), if any, did you use to collect information to be presented in the visual? Why is this information necessary to support the ideas of your presentation? (Cite the visual as explained in Documenting Visuals in the Week 7 lesson.)
Why does the information need to be presented in a visual form? (For instance, why not just present the idea in text?)
Why is the type of visual you used appropriate for the content? (For instance, why did you choose a bar chart and not a line chart?)
What Visual Media and Design strategies did you use in your visual? (For instance, how did you employ Gestalt Theory?) Before Sunday midnight, respond to at least two others in any of the threads by addressing two or more of the following questions relevant to each thread:
Thread 1: Social Media
Do you agree or disagree that the platform used is best for the purpose and audience of the message? What additional social media strategies might accomplish the same purpose for the audience? What additional examples from the real world demonstrate the social media strategies used? What are the pros/cons of social media advertising for professional purposes, such as this communications conference?
Thread 2: Podcasts
What section(s) of the podcast stood out to you the most and why? What ideas from the podcast should be removed or expanded upon for the Week 8 presentation? What additional ideas relevant to the podcast topic should be addressed in the Week 8 presentation?
Thread 3: Blogs
Do you think the blog should be submitted for publication? What additions or revisions, if any, would you suggest before submitting for publication? What ideas from the blog should be removed or expanded upon for the Week 8 presentation? What additional ideas relevant to the blog topic should be addressed in the Week 8 presentation?
Thread 4: Visual Aids
Is the visual really necessary or would the content be better presented textually and why? Is the type of visual used appropriate for the content or would a different type of visual be better and why? If research is used, is the visual properly cited in APA style? What design changes, if any, would you suggest?
Finally, rate those posts that really stood out to you! Give five stars to the social media messages, blogs, podcasts, or visual aids that you thought were the best.

Written Assignment 5 will give you an opportunity to practice what you have learned about the cognitive biases all of us have–and how to work through them.
Your topic is going to be screen addiction. Next, find an article or opinion essay on your topic from a reputable online source. Your task is to find an article or essay that challenges your thinking on the topic in some way because the goal for this assignment is for you to challenge your biases.
In a short response essay of approximately 600 to 800 words, explore the biases you have on this issue using the following essay structure as your guide.
First, in a short introduction, share the article you chose, how you found it, and why you chose it. Then, in your body paragraphs, respond to the following questions:
What did you already think about this topic before reading the article?
Where did you get that information? Tell the story of how you came to think what you think about this controversial issue.
How do your experiences align with or disconnect from the point of view presented in the article? What about the article challenged your current beliefs?
Finally, try to put yourself into someone else’s shoes who might disagree with you on this issue. What might they say about this issue? What points might they make that seem the most reasonable to you, even if you still disagree with them? Don’t bring it back to your side. Just summarize what you think the other side might think. In this way, you will be forced to consider that side without feeling an urge to disagree with it.
In your conclusion, reflect on the process of digging into these tough questions. What are some of the benefits of this kind of process? Be sure to provide an APA reference for your chosen article at the end of your response essay.

Choose an Aviation Ethical Dilemma and make sure you cover all angles of the issue. Include history of the ethical issue or issues, what laws or regulatory rules may have been broken, or what laws protect against such unethical behavior/s.
Think about things like ethics in aviation safety, ethics of pilots, airport administrators, air traffic controllers, mechanics, ramp workers, baggage handlers and many others, not limited to politicians with a stake in aviation, cities and municipalities with airports on them, and what about unethical behavior by airports themselves perhaps such as too many not climate friendly emissions, oil and fuel spills, flight attendants, passengers being unethical.
