AIM: Students will be able to work in teams to prepare a promotion campaign for a major national association (The National Wheelchair Basketball Association)
DO NOW:
Type and Interpret the following quote: "Too often it's not the most creative guys or the smartest. Instead it's the ones who are best at playing politics and soft-soaping their bosses. Boards don't like abrasive guys." Carl Icahn, famous businessman commenting on how some people get ahead in business and in sports as well. Relate it to sports celebrities and people on the rise in sports.
What does "soft-soaping" mean? It means "brown-nosing" or "kissing up" to your boss for favors. Another way to say the same thing is to say, "buttering up" the boss.
What does "abrasive" mean? You should look it up, using "dictionary.com"....
Next, You will send me your do now and also include the status of your project. Chapter 4 "Extra Innings" project 1-7 for the NWBA. We should be completing it today and tomorrow last day. We will do presentations and see a film and answer questions about the film on Thurs. and Friday.
To know your grade, send me an email at ProfessorKLK@aol.com for it privately.
If you didn't submit your project in the previous marking period, regardless of opportunities to catch up, you did not pass this marking period. If you send your project so many weeks after deadline and expect to pass, remember that "deadlines" are real and they matter. I cannot promise I can or will change the grade you received at this late date.
