Part 1<\/h2>\r\nYour task is to write a short paragraph (no more than 300 words) discussing the key characteristics of an imaginary business site. Write as if you\u2019re analyzing and selecting a location for a new store.\r\n\r\nDescribe aspects of the location such as the size of the location, the parking situation, and the surrounding area. Decide if you are going to choose a location in a Mall, Strip Shopping Center, Kiosk, etc. Explain why you selected the location that you did. Imagine that you have competition located in the area and what you plan to do to compete with this business.\r\n

Part 2<\/h2>\r\nFor each discussion forum, students need to create an initial post, then look over the discussion posts of your other classmates and give at least two (2) thoughtful responses to two (2) different classmates (one per classmate), totaling a minimum of three (3) posts for forum, including your initial post.\r\n\r\nYou need to write more than just a few words like: \u201cI agree\u201d or \u201cSounds good\u201d or \u201cWell said.\u201d You must write several sentences that are thoughtful and suitable for a proper discussion. It is also fitting to ask questions or politely challenge your classmates if you like. When in doubt, just remember: this is a \u201cdiscussion,\u201d not a series of opinion blogs.\r\n
