This will be an active part of your business plan. You may incorporate tables, graphs or spreadsheet in your document. 2. CALCULATE YOUR BREAK EVEN ANALYSIS for your ‘top’ selling item. If you have a variety of items, take an average selling price for your top 2-3 items and use that information for calculating. Scenario #1: Use and submit the Breakeven Analysis Template below to calculate your break-even in dollars and units, with “$0” profit. Scenario #2. For your second calculation, add a reasonable dollar amount to the ‘profit’ cell on the template to see what your required units/dollars to make that amount in profit per year.Be sure you show your Variable costs as UNIT costs and Fixed costs on an Annual basis. For instance, rent is 1,000/month, so, you would show $12,000 as rent in fixed costs.BREAKEVEN TEMPLATE Submit both scenarios of breakeven analysis.

I’m working on a humanities discussion question and need support to help me learn.

What is genre and why do we care? Often we talk about poetry, plays, and prose as the major genres of writing. Within each of these large category genres, we catagorize into smaller genres: verse poetry or free poetry; romance novels or detective fiction. Genre helps us organize our expectations and as such is very useful in the study of literature. In this course we are of course focusing on the genre of detective fiction.
We have spent the past few weeks reading the earliest authors, learning the methods of detecting from the foundational Detective fathers, exploring the components of their characters. We have also begun to explore how Setting and Tone can influence a story, as well as how the background of Culture can have a huge impact on our understanding and appreciation of a text.
Let’s focus now on Genre. In the early 20th century, the genre of detective fiction will develop, expand, and split into various sub-genres. Authors and their readers develop a keen sense of how a detective fiction should be written, what its structure should be and how the plot should unfold. By 1928 certain “rules” are established. Many of these rules are written in reaction to badly written stories of the early years, but most of them are essential to the game of the primary kind of detective fiction: the Whodunit. 
Read Van Dine’s 20 Rules of Detective Fiction and post your reaction to the Discussion question on the board. 
Van Dine’s rules were written very early in the game. A lot of time has passed since 1928. The genre has developed and split. In this second half of the course we will explore the sub-genres that have developed from the Whodunit, including the American Hardboiled detective tale, the police procedural, the legal drama, and the suspense novel. We will not have time to explore the spy thriller. Sometimes there are not firm divisions between these sub-genres, and a legal drama may also be a suspense novel, etc.
—————————————————————————
Now that you’ve read Van Dine’s list of rules, what are for you the most important rules for an author to follow? Quote one or two of them, and comment on their importance to the genre and the “sport” of detective fiction. Have you encountered the breaking of any of these rules yet in Detective fiction or film? Describe that rule-breaking and how it made you feel. Or, perhaps there is another rule that Van Dine neglects to mention? 

Research two of the curriculum modelsfrom the list below:

Creative Curriculum
Bank Street Approach
High/Scope Curriculum
Reggio Emilia
Project Approach
Montessori
Emergent Curriculum
Waldorf Approach

You will then write a Paper to Discuss andAnalyze the models.  In the discussion section of your paper, you will ensure for each model your paper addresses the questions and contains the information asked for below.

Curriculum model name and founder/developer
Curriculum model focus, components and philosophy (e.g., child development, role of the teacher, and family collaboration)
The inside environment 

Describe how the classroom environment is part of the curriculum, the types of materials used, and how the children interact with the materials.

The outside environment 

Describe how the outside environment is used. Is it part of the formal curriculum? 

Teacher’s role 

Describe how the teacher’s plan, present and facilitate the curriculum. 
Describe the teacher’s role in the classroom.
Describe how families are involved in the curriculum process, including how the curriculum and learning is communicated with families. 

Is the model academically or developmentally oriented? Answer the following questions (your answers should demonstrate critical reflection, comparison to DAP principles, etc.).  

How does the curriculum (activities, environment, and interactions), promote active learning?
Does the curriculum encourage children to construct knowledge?
What domains (e.g., Cognitive, Language, Social, Physical, Aesthetic) is the curriculum geared towards?
Is the curriculum sensitive and respectful of cultural and linguistic diversity? Describe.
Does the curriculum encourage children to express their individuality?
Is the focus on process/experience rather than product? 
What is the role of play in the curriculum?

The Conclusion section of your paper, will Compare and Contrast the two curriculum models by answering the questions below:   

To what extent are the curriculum models experienced by children different from each other? 
Reflect on your comfort with each curriculum model. What stood out to you as best practices? Were there any ideas, or practices that you feel are not developmentally appropriate, or that concern /confuse you?  
What curriculum model were you (or your children) introduced to as a young child in preschool or Kindergarten?
What new ideas/thoughts do you have? How will understanding the different curriculum models influence your curriculum planning?  

Write a Final draft of the Internet Research essay. I upload my second draft below. Here is the comments from professor, please revise the essay based on these comments. “You need a more compelling title than just an announcement of the topic.Please add context to this argument. Which government and which people are you discussing? Is this the U.S.? Later in the essay you write “Although the government made vaccination mandatory,” and that’s not true here in the U.S., so you must be discussing somewhere else, but it’s not clear where. And here you write, “but in the case of the Covid- 19 vaccine, it is expensive and only available in few health organizations”, but here it’s free and fairly easy to find at this point. I’m confused.You write that the pandemic has “been in existence for close to three years now”, but my understanding is that the earliest cases were perhaps in October or November of 2019. Do you have research that puts the early cases in 2018? You also claim that “the pandemic has not met the documented tests of the vaccine’s effectiveness; hence, most of the vaccines have been rolled out due to being ineffective.” But there’s a ton of evidence that many of the vaccines are HIGHLY effective and are being rolled out more and more across the globe. This really confused me.The central thesis (proposal) is clear and well-stated at the end of the first paragraph.Statements like this require evidence: “there is no sufficient research that has been done to reveal that the risks associated with vaccination outweigh the risks of infections without the vaccine.” Because you are not an infectious disease expert, you need to research and find out what the experts are saying and see if they agree with you.I think the biggest piece for me here is that you claim that the government must not infringe on people’s liberty by mandating a vaccine, but there’s no part of your essay that goes deeply into this question. I think most reasonable people agree that the government shouldn’t send a pack of thugs to your house to force an injection in your arm. Ok, but what about schools mandating vaccination against polio, measles, etc. in order to protect the other children, some of whom cannot medically tolerate a vaccination? And what if the government declares that unvaccinated people cannot fly on an airplane or gather at a large indoor event? Is this the same as making something mandatory? Please define “mandatory” and make it clear how far you think the government should go in the interest of public health.”
