Creating a Calling Card

undefined

A business card not only provides information; it also gives a sense of the purpose and mission of the company and the owner of the card. For this assignment, you create a personal calling card (I apologize if you hate puns). The card is your personal card (your name on it) and should reflect your sense of purpose and calling at the beginning of the course. You will make additional versions throughout the course.

undefined

Please create a two-sided personal calling card in digital format (.jpg, .png, or .pdf). The card should be sized 2 inches by 3.5 inches. I expect you to use color, graphics and/or a logo, and text effectively to convey your sense of self. In lieu of an address and phone number, use email and/or social media links.

Remember to submit one copy of your two-sided card into the assignment location and a second copy into the first discussion thread for this module.

PART 3:

undefined

Complete the “Calling Card 1” assignment and post both sides of your card into the first thread for module 1. Provide no more than one paragraph of explanatory description of your card. Then post a reply to three other cards analyzing how each reflects the person’s purpose(s) and calling.

undefined

Be sure to employ the definitions for “purpose” and “calling” provided by Building Your Knowledge 1. Also, select for analysis cards that have few or no analyses posted to them.

PART 4:

Identify two of the questions from the reading that are most interesting to you and then explain why they are so interesting. Then, in the second paragraph, discuss in general the practice of looking to the past for guidance in the present. Do you find doing so helpful or problematic? Why?
