Why do investors put their money into real estate development?

You were introduced to the One Lincoln Street case study in the Orientation Module and learned more about this development in the video preceding this discussion.

One of the interesting characteristics of this project is the fact that no lease agreements were in place before development commenced. Development started in 1999, and a long-term lease was only signed with a tenant, the investment management firm State Street, in 2001.

Read through the case study again (ignoring the exhibits for now) and consider the following questions:

• Why do you think the investors took the chance to develop the One Lincoln Street building when there were no preexisting leases in place?

• Would you have been willing to take this risk if you were in a similar situation? Why or why not?

Share your thoughts with your fellow participants on the small group discussion forum.

The idea of “diseases peculiar to the place” brings an interesting topic. What kind of disease is more frequent in your town, city, state, and what do you thing are the reasons for it? Please elaborate your answer and provide references.

Instructions

Pick one of these pairs of works about a common subject. Analyze each work and compare it to the other using the following guiding questions:

For each work, analyze purpose:

1. What do you think the purpose is?
2. What specific aspects or elements of the work suggest the purpose you have identified?

For each work, analyze audience:

1. Identify primary/secondary audiences, as appropriate
2. Identify all relevant audience characteristics and categories for each audience (i.e., knowledge level, personality, biases, etc.)
3. Explain your reasons for characterizing the audience the way you do (i.e., What’s your evidence for your conclusions?).

Compare the two analyses:

1. Are the purposes the same for each work? Different? How do you know?
2. Are the audiences the same for each work? Different? How do you know?

Submit your answers in Word document or in the textbox.

Mathematics Technology Presentation

A major component of being a teacher is the collaboration with the other teachers in your grade level to share ideas, resources, and learning activities in order to enhance instruction and meet the diverse needs of students.

Include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.

For each form of technology, include the following components:

• A detailed description and how the technology works to engage students and enhance math instruction
• A rationale for the benefits of using the technological tools to facilitate the creation or transfer of knowledge and skills
• The safety precautions including the safe, legal, and ethical use of technology both at home and at school.

• Description of how each form of technology can be used to support collaboration with families, students, and school personnel.
