This assignment is in tandem with the website: Six Word Memoirs. As this class addresses culture/intercultural communication, this website is an excellent partner for this assignment. The website encourages us to write out feelings in “six-word memoirs” and that is what you will be doing for this assignment!

Project Preparation Instructions:

Video [Watch]: http://www.sixwordmemoirs.com/community.php (Links to an external site.)

Website [Read]: http://sixwordmemoirs.com/about/about-six/ (Links to an external site.)

• Using the links provided (above), watch the video about Six Word Memoirs and read what this website and community is all about! Take notes. You will need them for the essay!

Send an email or text or have a face to face conversation with at least 3 friends or family members and ask them to:

• come up with 6 words that describe their perception or feelings about culture/intercultural interactions.
• Also, ask them to explain the meaning of their six-word memoir. Ask for as much detail in the explanation as possible.
• Save or print out the six-word memoirs/explanations. You will use this information in your final essay.

Create, explain and save your own six-word memoir about culture/intercultural communication.

Writing the Essay:

Paragraph 1: Start with a proper introduction to your essay.

Paragraph 2: Provide information about the 6-Word beginnings—who started the program? When was it started? What is the history of this program? (video). Also, provide detailed information about the website and purpose.

Paragraph 3: Start this paragraph with your six word memoir in “ “. Then, in detail, explain what it means.

Paragraphs 4, 5 & 6: The three 6-word memoirs you collected will be explained in three separate paragraphs. In each paragraph (4-6) start with the six word memoir in “ “. Then, in detail, explain what it means according to the author. Finally, what do you think about the memoir and explanation?

• Stay away from a “good or bad” evaluation. I am looking for something other than “I liked it” of “I thought it was good”. What does the 6-word memoir and explanation say to you about the /author/person?

Paragraph 7: This essay should have a clear conclusion.

NOTE: Your essay should:

• have a clear (and brief) introduction, a body and a clear (and brief) conclusion.

The Unit 6 Assignment requires you to apply the theories, concepts, and research that you have covered so far this term to a hypothetical case study. Your answers to the questions and completed graph should consist of information from the text and supplemental readings.You also may use sources from the Library or other credible Internet sources, but your primary sources should be the readings assigned for the course.

Read each Case Study and answer the questions below. You will need to write 2–3 typed pages for each case in order to address all required parts of the project.Answers to the questions should be typed in an APA formatted Word document, double-spaced in 12-point font and submitted to the Dropbox.

Please make sure to provide proper credit for those sources used in your case study analysis in proper APA format. You must credit authors when you:

1. Summarize a concept, theory or research
2. Use direct quotes from the text or articles

Read Case Study 1: Martin

Martin, a behavior analyst, is working with Sara, a 14-year-old girl with severe developmental delays who exhibits self-injurious behavior (SIB). Sara’s target behavior is defined as pulling her hair, biting her arm and banging her head against the wall. After conducting a functional analysis, Martin decided to employ an intervention program consisting of differential reinforcement of other (DRO) desired behavior. Martin collected data on Sara’s SIB before and during the intervention. Below is a depiction of the data that Martin collected:

Sara’s Frequency of SIB

BASELINE Occurrences	DRO Occurrences
22	5
25	5
27	3
26	2

Address the following questions, and complete the following requirements:

1. Create a basic line graph using Microsoft Excel, to be included in your Word document. The graph should depict the data provided in this case study. You should only need to create one graph, with SIB depicted, both in baseline and in intervention.
2. What type of research design did Martin employ when working with Sara? What is an advantage and a disadvantage of using this research design?
3. According to the data in the graph, was the intervention that Martin selected effective in modifying Sara’s self-injurious behavior?
4. Martin had considered using an ABAB reversal design when working with Sara. What are some ethical implications of selecting a reversal design when working with the type of behavior problems that Sara was exhibiting?
5. Martin’s supervisor requested a graph of the data he collected when working with Sara. Why are graphs useful in evaluating behavior change?
6. Discuss how a graph demonstrates a functional relationship. Identify whether the graph that you created using the data provided in this section depicts a functional relationship.
