This week’s assignment is a 1-2 page handout. Be creative! Please submit assignment via Canvas on Tuesday, February 14th to receive full credit (7 points).
As an MFT,(MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPIST) you will encounter individuals, couples and families who have experienced stressful events and trauma. Clients often seek therapy for help in responding to these events. After reading the articles from this week, your assignment is to create a handout on Resiliency. It should be organized in a handout style so that the client and therapist can use it as a psychoeducational tool.
The handout needs to include:
1) Definition of resiliency (such as psychological, family/relational resiliency, etc.)
2) Factors that promote resiliency and family/relational resiliency
3) Any additional information from the readings on resiliency that your clients would find helpful.
Background
For this two-part assignment, you will be writing an analysis of a short story, including your interpretation of the story’s meaning, as well as relating the story’s meaning to your overall exploration of the humanities. These writings are not merely reflective exercises. Research and writing about the deeper meaning of the story is required. Although you may be creative, you will also have to demonstrate that you are engaging with the course materials, demonstrating academic research, and following proper citation procedures.

Assignment Instructions
Part 1 – Short Story Analysis Essay Instructions
1. Read some of the short stories from one of the links below and select ONE story to analyze.
Short stories available at: https://americanliterature.com/twenty-great-american-short-stories/
and at: https://americanliterature.com/short-short-stories/
2. After you select and have carefully read the short story, do RESEARCH by finding at least two scholarly articles on the short story and integrate what you learned from them in your essay. Try the SPC Library database or Google Scholar.
3. In a new document, start by composing one fully-developed paragraph (150 words minimum), where you identify the following elements:
title of story, author, date of publication
setting
characters
plot
4. Then, in two fully-developed paragraphs (at least 150 words in each paragraph), explain the ultimate meaning of the story. Provide as many specific examples from the story as possible. Please note that this is your interpretation of the many possible meanings that the author is trying to convey. This is a point over which reasonable people may disagree. How do the researched interpretations of the story compare to your own interpretations?
Minimum 3 Paragraphs and 450 word count total.
5. Cite the sources of your researched interpretations. You must find and identify at least two research sources beyond your textbook. You may also cite research links provided in this module, but be sure to find and cite at least one source beyond what you are provided. Either the MLA or APA format will be permitted. Do NOT use Wikipedia or other encyclopedias (online, etc.) only. That is, you cannot use encyclopedias alone. Of course, you may use it as a starting place. Be sure to use SPELL CHECK and proof read your essay.
Tips:
Avoid retelling the story. You can assume your readers (the instructor and your classmates) are familiar with the story.
Focus the submission on the analysis: What is the ultimate meaning of the story? What is the author saying about the human experience? How does the author convey the meaning? Why did the author choose to do it that way?
Provide the citations both in text (Smith, 74) and in a works cited section on the last page. Use a hanging indent and double spacing. Put the citations in alphabetical order by the first word in the entry (usually the author’s name)
Cite the short story you’re analyzing too.

Scenario
You work for Lightning, Inc., a fiber-optic internet company based in Montana. Your company is trying to expand to other states, but since fiber-optic internet is more expensive than other types of connections, your boss, Dereck Boyer, expects you to choose three states which would be the most profitable to expand the business to.
He has asked you to write a report breaking down types of computers used in households with varying levels of income. You found data on types of computers and internet subscriptions per state which would help you support your report.
Take time to familiarize yourself with the data set—identifying the sections which would support your choice. The goal is to select and visualize the data that is most relevant to your audience and the point you are trying to make. Consider what it is you want the audience to know and how you can best visualize the information for them. Your audience is your boss, Mr. Boyer
Then, write a short report that includes three data visualizations that report your findings to Dereck Boyer.
To complete this exercise, you should have your dataset and also should have drafted your three visualizations after you select the 3 states. You will now create a “storyboard” to visually plan how you will integrate visuals into the argument of the deliverable to create a “story” or argument.
Your completed storyboard should clearly describe the point you are making, and where and how each visual fits in.
