  5. Excellence Essay & Presentation How would you define the word “excellence,” and how does it apply to your own life? In this assignment, you will do a few things to answer these questions. Define the term “excellence.” Integrate research. Identify your three areas to work on. Create an action plan. Write a 2-4 page paper synthesizing above steps. Condense into a one to two minute speech. We will have class discussions around the idea of excellence. Your fellow students might define it differently than you do, and that’s okay. Subjectivity is welcome here. We will have some in-class readings, and you will also be required to locate your own sources. These sources could be over the idea of excellence or about figures who do (or do not) exemplify it. Due Dates: The Excellence Essay w/Research is Due Friday August 23rd. The Condensed Speech in One to Two Minutes is Due Monday August 26th.

  8. Research Find websites about excellence, stories of excellent, or excellent people.

  9. Credible Sites • Do not use group sites with undetermined authors (wiki, ehow, etc.) • DO use newspaper sites. • If you use a blog, make sure that the author is credible for your purpose. For example, if you are talking about Excellence, does the head football coach of a university team seem more credible than a guy that sells hot dogs outside the stadium? Make this clear when you introduce the writing.

  10. Using the source in your paper • Direct quote: • Franklin D Roosevelt said, “The only thing to fear is fear itself.” • During a momentous speech the crowd was told that “The only thing to fear is fear itself.” • Paraphrase: • Put it all in your own words and change sentence structure. • Franklin D Roosevelt gave a speech during WWII telling people not to be afraid. He suggested that will power can overcome a craven aspect of an individual and make a stronger nation.
