Burnell asks us to consider various literate identities: citizen, consumer, lifelong learner, and global citizen. What do you think of these categories as they apply to you and your students? Are there other identities that should be added? Why? Semingson asks us to think about the following questions: What is literacy? Why do we teach literacy? How do we teach it? How would you begin to answer these questions? What literacy skills are required of the discipline you teach? What skills are important for your students to know in order to master the discorse of your discipline? Considering what you may know or presume about your students’ reading habits, hobbies and technology use, what literacy skills might they already present? How could you leverage their prior knowledge & skills in the classroom? https://youtu.be/vTtkAB28lxw https://youtu.be/ZdW-jif0S-g https://ncte.org/blog/2020/03/literacy-just-reading-writing/ https://medium.com/literate-schools/redefining-literacy-in-the-21st-century-139894b14fd4

Using the Ford Motor Company, imagine that you will be making a Microsoft Power Point presentation to the organization's board of directors or other decision-making leaders. Your work will consist of two parts for the presentation.First, you will synthesize the key insights you have learned during the past five weeks.Second, you will present an Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) strategy, a pricing objective, and a pricing strategy to the board of directors. Because this second part involves new material in the project, it will probably require the most research and analysis to complete this week's presentation.The following sections provide greater detail about the two pieces of your presentation.Note: The expectation for this project is a scholarly presentation. A scholarly presentation has two main distinctions:The notes sections of slides contain research citations, evaluation, and conclusions—just like in a good scholarly paper. In other words, a reader should be able to read your notes section as if he or she is reading an academic paper. The grading rubric suggests a level of critical thinking for the presentation (in the notes section particularly) that is on the level of a good academic paper.Key points and information on the slides are highlighted. A good slide contains no more than six lines of text. The slide should just contain the "big ideas" to help guide your reader through the main points.Part 1: Summary of Key Insights from the Course Project to DateNew Mission; New Product/Service (2 slides)Provide a brief overview of the new/improved mission statement and the new/improved product or service you are proposing.Provide the board of directors with supported rationale for how the new product/service contributes to achieving the new/improved organizational mission.Service Delivery Enhancements (2 slides)Provide a brief overview of service delivery enhancements to improve efficiency and effectiveness.Provide the board of directors with supported rationale for how the service delivery enhancements contribute to achieving organizational mission.Part 2: Communication Strategy you need to communicate to your "organization's" market segment the key benefits that make the organization distinct from the competitors.

Use research to support your work.Pricing (2–3 slides)Justify both a pricing objective and a pricing strategy for the company on the basis of the information gathered from the case study, an understanding of the competition, and the likely attitude of current customers.In the notes section, justify why the organization should adopt the pricing objective and follow your pricing strategy, using appropriate examples, research, and reasoning.Conclusion (1 slide)Conclude with a statement positioning the brand around the new service delivery.In the notes section, defend the statement. Support your work with research.Submissions Details:The presentation should be 12 to 15 slides in length.All references on the last slide, using APA style.
