This exercise will advance your work with the business problem you have so far–go ahead and carry over the topic/issue you were working on in exercise #6.
It will be OK to switch to a different business problem later if you end up not wanting to commit to the one you are working with here. (We will remain flexible until the process starts to gel.)
Later in the course, you will write a proposal (week 12) and also a long business report (week 16) on the business problem you eventually commit to. With luck, the one you have now, or something like it, will go the distance, but we will see.
Instructions for Exercise #7:
State the business problem you want to work with and research solutions to. It should be a statement not a question. If you are not sure of your business problem yet, it is OK to work with a practice one for this exercise and see where it leads.
Make sure the problem is not generic but tied to an actual industry, company, or organization–one that has at its head a person or persons who could be the recipient of your transmittal letter and full report. Being specific about company/recipient will be important to moving ahead with your idea.
State a tentative thesis statement. Your thesis should not be a question. It should state the problem and point toward solutions. Your thesis at this stage should be your best articulation so far of (a) what the problem is, (b) maybe even what caused it, and (c) where you think the solutions will come from.
List 3-5 research questions that you will want to investigate.
Tips:
Some preliminary online research and library database browsing will help you come up with productive questions.
This is a great time to start using the GGU Library.
It is OK for your thesis and research questions change later.
This work will lead to refinement of your thinking.
Why is your thesis statement considered tentative? Because it will likely change as you continue your research. At this point, the thesis is there to help you keep the scope of your thinking under control as you research. (You will be writing a business report, not a book.)

English Assignment Help Poetry analysis is not really as scary as it may seem. When reading the poems, pay attention to the poetic conventions that really stand out:
voice (speaker in the poem)
word choice, or word order
imagery
figures of speech (simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, understatement, metonymy, synecdoche, apostrophe)
sound (rhythm, rhyme, assonance, alliteration, consonance)
form
symbolism, allegory, myth
theme
All of these aspects help to create meaning for the reader. Which rhetorical element creates the greatest meaning? Which did you understand the best? That is the element that you will want to address in your analysis essay.
The analysis essay does not require outside research. As a matter of fact, please avoid using outside sources (these usually cause issues with plagiarism in the essays).
The analysis essay is merely a “reader response” essay. State your claims about the text using only evidence from the poem to support your points.
in-text citations for poems should include the line numbers only.
Quotes from poems use slashes to indicate line breaks in the original poem. Do not type it as you see it on the page: As an example, William Carlos Williams writes, “so much depends/ upon” (1-2).
The essay only needs to be about two pages in length. *All essays must be formal, so do not use 1st or 2nd person or contractions.
And, the essay should have a Work Cited page with only the poem listed.
The author’s full name and the title of the poem should be in the introductory paragraph. (Titles of poems should be in quotation marks, not italics unless an extraordinarily long poem: Beowulf.)
Write an essay of 500-750 words on the use of a single literary device/term used within one of the poems you read for this lesson. Be sure to:
Include an outline.
Use MLA format.
Include a Works Cited page, listing the poem you used.
Review the format for citing lines of poetry. Citations from the poem will be needed to support your argument.
Check the syllabus for the due date.
