The 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, was an important place for the Black community and for people fighting for civil rights. On September 15, 1963, a terrible event happened when a bomb exploded at the church. This bombing took the lives of four young girls who were getting ready for Sunday school. The church was a meeting place for civil rights leaders to plan marches and peaceful protests. The sadness and anger after the bombing helped people see the need for change.

I am interested in this job because I am currently looking for an opportunity to use the skills I learnt in my college. I have recently completed a 16-week part-time accounting course (AAT Level 2 Certificate). The course covered book-keeping, recording income and receipts and basic costing. We used a wide range of computer packages, and I picked up the accounting skills easily. I was able to work alone with very little extra help. I passed the course with merit. I believe my success was due to my thorough work, my numeracy skills and my attention to detail. During the course, I had experience of working to deadlines and working under pressure. Although this was sometimes stressful, I always completed my work on time.

Unfortunately, the course did not include a work placement, so I have not practised my skills in a business setting, and I am now looking for an opportunity to do so. I am particularly looking for a job in a small company such as yours, as I believe I will be able to interact with a wider range of people, and as a result, learn more skills. I would like to progress within a company and gain more responsibilities over the years.

Although I do not have work experience in finance, I have experience in working in an office environment. Before starting the accounting course, I worked for 6 months in a recruitment office as a receptionist. My duties involved meeting and greeting clients and visitors, taking phone calls, audio and copy typing and checking stock. I also had to keep the petty cash and mail records. Through this work, I developed my verbal and written communication skills. I had to speak confidently to strangers and deliver clear messages. I enjoyed working in a team environment. I believe the office appreciated my friendly manner and efficient work.

Since I don't feel like grading a final paper and I KNOW you don't feel like doing a final paper, your final project for this year will be...(drumroll please)... a creative project!

What does that mean? It means that your project is up to you.

TASK: 

Part 1: You are going to create some type of project (digital or physical) that illustrates 3 things: a visual representation of AT LEAST ONE novel we've read in class, what you've learned from said novel, and some indicator of your emotions towards the novel. In Part 1, you must submit a written proposal to me as to what your project will be: your proposal must include: the 3 components of your project (see above), a plan for what you intend to do each day in class, what materials you intend to use to make your project, and what texts you are going to get your sources from.

Part 2: Create the project using the guidelines listed above

Part 3: You are going to write me a 2 page argument explaining how your creative project represents your chosen novel. Your write-up should include: a claim, 3 pieces of evidence (quotes) from the book, 3 pieces of elaboration, and why you chose to do your project the way you did (or put another way: why DIDN'T you do another type of project?)
