A good paper will make a clear argument supported by theoretical material covered in class and in the readings. In other words, make a clear and convincing case for your point of view, while at the same time showing why the criticisms of your argument that some other reasonable person might put forth are not valid. Make sure to answer all parts of the question. Your paper should be roughly 5 pages in length, double-spaced (1 margins, 12 point Times New Roman font).

Perform a macroeconomic forecast to the best of your ability with support from information currently in the news. Find five to eight (5-8) worthwhile articles about it from either newspapers or news (including business) magazines, credible blogs, research institute reports, government reports, or peer-reviewed articles. You may substitute appropriate websitesbut you want to be very careful of bias and reliability of information.

Write an essay that is less than 1050 words in textual material. Title page, reference list page, and appendices with exhibits do not count toward the 1050 word maximum. Students should follow the APA Style Manual; the goal of APA and other style guides is to craft your essay such that the reader is not distracted from your ideas and facts.

This short essay will outline and explore a forecast of the U.S. economy. It should demonstrate your mastery of the course material by your explanation of numerous topics and issues. This may include among other things:
A forecast of the U.S. economy or the global economy
1. Describe current conditions, fluctuations, and trends of the Big 3 macroeconomic indicators.
2. Think about how one or the other of the four components of GDP (consumption spending, investment spending, government spending, and next export spending) are trending and why.
3. Think about other indicators that seem to help predict trends in important macroeconomic variables.
A prediction of likely U.S. federal government and Federal Reserve policy actions.
1. Think about what policymakers are likely to dofrom theory or from news reports.
2. Think about what they should do; make a recommendation of U.S. government policy actions.
An analysis of the likely outcomes of various trends identified with some special attention to U.S. government or Federal Reserve policy actions.
If you are ambitious, describe the implications of this forecast for a particular business or industry.
Your forecast should use the key concepts and terminology of macroeconomics within your presentation. You should rely heavily on textbook definitions, explanations, and analysesbut always remember application rather than repetition is important. You should use graphical or tabular displays of data with commentary.

If death, murder, and a murder victim had a face; what would it look like?

Create a concept map you could use to organize your own knowledge and help you design a K-3 science-themed unit that would meet FL NGSSS benchmarks. The concept map will serve as the background for the unit plan you complete later in the semester. A concept map should look like something similar to a web with a topic in the middle. You will first brainstorm different questions students may have about that topic and then create the concepts you will need to cover to hopefully answer those questions.

Select a topic area from the document:Human Body: SC.K.L.14.1, SC.1.L.14.1, SC.1.L.16.1 (humans only), SC.2.L.14.1 (Gr. K, 2)

Include linking words between concepts to make a proposition. A proposition links two concepts to make a simple sentence. Arrows show which way to read the proposition. Every pair of concepts must have linking words between them that show how they are related. Linking words are THE most important part of a concept map and what makes it a powerful tool. Include cross-links to show how terms in different places in the concept map connect to each other.

Discuss in relation to one of the cases covered. 8) Policies that unintentionally result in mass killing should not be classed as genocide. Discuss in relation to one or two cases. 9) Choose two of the cases studied and compare the motives of the perpetrators of the killing, outlining similarities and dissimilarities, and how well the two cases compare or not. 10) Choose two of the cases studied and compare the war crimes, outlining similarities and dissimilarities, and how well the two cases compare or not. 11) Choose one of the cases studied and explore why it is so difficult (or easier in some cases) for guilty parties to admit to war crimes/massacres/genocide.. 12) Choose one out of our cases and explore how the involvement (or non-involvement) of international actors resulted in war crimes/massacres/genocide.
