BACKGROUND ABOUT COMPANY

Your organization has just completed the Initiation Process for implementing an Email System Upgrade. It was identified in a recent meeting with management leaders from the Sales, Consulting and IT departments that the current email system is causing significant amount of business interruptions and must be updated immediately. You have been assigned the role of project manager to develop the project schedule and budget. As project manager, you are responsible for implementing and enforcing the project schedule and its estimates, expected costs, and the techniques and methods that will be chosen to execute and control the project. The project is being initiated with the following initial project scope in mind:

• There are five email systems currently being used across twelve departments and offices. These will be replaced and consolidated into one email system.
• New Email Standards and Protocols will be established and training provided to all departments.
• All 2000 current email users will be converted to the new system, and 500 new users that did not have email before will be added.
• Users will have both LAN and remote access to email.
• Help desk and support infrastructure will be set-up to accommodate the new system.
• Equipment will be salvaged.

User PCs will be upgraded to accommodate the new email system.

For this project, you will be transported to the mythical land of Camelot!

Well, not really. However, you will be writing a creative piece that will demonstrate your understanding of chivalry. In this Unit Project, you will imagine what it would be like to be a knight in King Arthur’s court in Camelot.

You will be the protagonist of your story, so this should be written in a first person point of view. You have read all about chivalry in this unit, have studied examples of knights, and you will be taking this knowledge with you to Camelot. You will also be fully accepted by King Arthur as a knight and outfitted with shining armor accordingly.

• Click on the link in the Red Box to view the Project Rubrics for this project.

You will be spending a week as a knight. During this week, three events will occur, similar to the ones we read about in the selections from this unit. Choose three from among the following options:

• Negotiate a peace agreement with a rogue knight (as in Le Mort d’Arthur)
• Lead an army into an epic battle (as in Le Mort d’Arthur)
• Receive an order to complete a task from King Arthur (as in Le Mort d’Arthur)
• Face temptation (as in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight)
• Receive a challenge for a duel (as in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight)
• Fall in courtly love and pursue a romance (as in a Knight’s Tale)
• Recruit a squire (as in Don Quixote)

Project Details

Your project will tell in detail what happened during your chosen three events.

For each event you face, you must acknowledge the chivalrous thing to do:

• What is the chivalrous thing to do in this situation?
• Why do you think this the chivalrous thing to do?
• In the stories you have studied, how did the knights react to this specific situation?

You will need to provide support for this. Your support may be a recollection of the text when a character faced this situation; if so, provide a quote from the story. Or, you may choose to support it with research instead. You can use a link provided in the course or find one of your own. (Make sure to include a Works Cited page.)

Once you have acknowledged the chivalrous thing to do, you may choose to either do the chivalrous thing or not. You must behave chivalrously at least once, and you must break the code of chivalry at least once. Justify your decisions! You must have a reason why you choose to do the right thing or the wrong thing in each scenario. Remember – Sir Bedivere had a hard time throwing Excalibur away as he was told to! However, Sir Bedivere also had a specific reason for disobeying his king’s orders.

Be detailed. Write these scenarios loosely based on the stories we read, but take liberties to create your own adventure. I should be able to see your understanding of the texts and of the code of chivalry, but this should be a fun piece that showcases your creativity and imaginatio

Tie your story or essay together to create a cohesive piece. Since this is a unique and somewhat absurd situation, spend your first paragraph introducing your reader to the scenario. This may mean discussing what you learned in the course, describing the time-travel experience, or detailing your first meeting with King Arthur. Your conclusion should wrap up your paper with a discussion of your experience and perhaps your return home.

You may choose to write this narratively (like a novel), as a diary entry, a letter, or just a report to your teacher about your experience. Embrace the project! Write as though you are truly living this!

This essay should be between three and seven pages (750-1750 words) in length. Your final draft should be saved and submitted as .doc or .pdf file. It should be in 12-point font in Times New Roman.

10% of your grade will be on grammar and mechanics. Write as clearly and correctly as you can. This means that 90% of your grade is based on your ideas – however, you will not earn an A if you do not proofread carefully and check for errors.

Most importantly, remember this is a culminating project for the Chivalry Unit. Your essay should show everything you have learned throughout the unit.

Due Date: Friday by 11:59pm

Directions:

To complicate our thinking just a little further, I want us to think not just about how the two arguments compare side by side but also about which argument is better? Which one use rhetoric in a more effective way? Which one commits fewer logical fallacies.

To help us with that, please answer each of the questions below in at least a few sentences. Doing this well should make writing your draft of Essay 2 next week easier 🙂
