  • A brief synopsis of the chapter
  • Your opinion of what Burmark states in his book
  • A total of 150+ words

 

Next, an updated copy of your presentation is to be placed in a third entry that reflects changes you have implemented based upon the reading. A short paragraph describing these changes needs to accompany the embedded presentation.

 

To do-

  1. Go to Blogger and create two new entries (150+ words), one for each chapter. All writing is expected to be college-level and utilize APA formatting and style as appropriate for a blog format.
  2. Open the presentation you created in week 3 and make changes based upon your readings and application of Burmark's principles.
  3. Upload to Slideshare as a new file. Do not replace or delete the old presentation from Slideshare.
  4. In a third entry, embed your changed presentation. If you have forgotten how to do this, instructions can be found in week 2.
