Now that we have studied different components of detective fiction, including the characters, settings, tone, genre as well as the culture which influences these stories and their setting, I invite you to create your own detective with a crime to solve. As you have noticed, a detective story usually begins with a description of the detective and his introduction to the crime. Write the first chapter -  five to eight (5-8) pages of your detective story.  Decide which subgenre you prefer – cozy or hardboiled? Include a description of the detective, his/her setting, and the cultural context. Is s/he professional or amateur? urban? Rural? Present day? Past? American? Other nationality? Will s/he be ratiocinative or intuitive? Be generous with details.  Then introduce your detective and the crime to be solved with its crime scene. You will have to get a lot of information into these pages, so choose your words carefully for maximum meaning. Writers do best when they write what they know, so take advantage of any special cultural or professional information you are familiar with. For example, I have lived in Paris for several years, so I might set my story in Paris with an (amateur) detective who is a visiting professor at the Sorbonne. I’ll choose cozy as my subgenre, so the tone, mood, characterization, and setting will all reflect this aesthetic in a cloistered academic building. And then I’ll introduce one more character, the murder and crime scene, and circumstances surrounding its discovery, and perhaps even a description of who the victim is. As I describe the setting, I will be sure to weave into the story a cultural issue that appeals to me or has affected me in some way, let's say the weight of student debt and how that pressure might provoke someone to do something drastic like murder.  Checklist to self-assess assignment: This is not a creative writing course, so your assignment will be assessed by your inclusion of essential elements of a detective story. A checklist that includes the following criteria with three levels will be used, indicating the degree of success: achieved (4 points), emerging (3 points), minimal (2 points) or absent (0) for a total of 24 points.  Clear establishment of subgenre through various characteristics – cozy or hardboiled Description of detective Introduction to methods the detective uses to detect clues and in analyze the crime or crime scene Introduction of a cultural issue at play Portrayal of secondary characters (one or two, no more) Description of setting and cultural issue at play

Once again, we will be considering an experience which has personal significance for you as a means of understanding the material from this module. For this Case Assignment, think about a situation involving leadership that made a strong impression on you. Please structure your essay in the following format, using the subtopics as headings. Your paper should be 4–6 pages, plus a title page and a references page. Introduction: Discuss the topic of the paper and how you will approach it. It is best to write this section after you have written the rest of the paper. Concrete Experience: Objectively describe the leadership experience. It could be a situation where you were in a leadership position, or one in which you were working under someone else as leader. The situation could have been a good experience or a failure in leadership. The important consideration is that it is a situation which you would like to understand better. In this section, strive to be objective and stick to the facts—who, what, where, when, and how. Reflective Observation: Step back and consider the situation from different points of view. How did you feel—what were your thoughts at the time? It is also critical to consider the experience of others involved. How do you think they were feeling? Did they see things the same way you did? The key to this section of your paper is to understand the experience not only from your own perspective, but also to develop the ability to be able to look at the situation through others’ eyes. Use these different perceptions to add depth and meaning to your objective description. Abstract Conceptualization: There are many readings and other materials explaining various models of leadership in the background section of this module. Use at least three of them to help explain the behavior of the leader and the followers in this incident. How do the models of leadership and power presented in the background material help you understand your behavior as well as how others reacted (commitment, compliance, or resistance?) Use proper citations and referencing when referring to any material from the background pages or any additional outside research. (Outside research not required, but you may supplement the background material if you choose. It should not replace the background readings and videos, but acts as an additional source.) (Remember: The abstract conceptualization section is the “heart” of your paper. Your ability to clearly and logically apply concepts of leadership to explain your own experience is essential to demonstrating critical thinking.) Active Experimentation: What have you learned about effective leadership from this exercise? What have you learned about how the leadership style influences follower’s reactions and motivation? What actions would you take to revise or improve upon your own leadership style and practices to be more effective in the future? Conclusion: Sum up the main points of your analysis and the key learning you are taking from it. Reference List: List all references that you have cited in the paper using APA formatting. References include materials from the required background readings as well as any outside internet or library sources you used in researching and writing your paper. If you have APA questions, refer to the optional listings on the background page PLESE USE AT LEAST 2OF THE BELOW REFERENCES AND INCLUDE ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL SOURCES TO MAKE THIS A STATISFACTORY ASSIGNMENT: Dean J., Cleavengera, D.
