Task One--DESCRIBE YOUR TOPIC ---Due Monday, March 12th Each topic includes an association (movement) and an individual. **PROMPT: Explain the achievements associated with both parts of your topic. Who and what were altered? Describe why both were significant in the 1980s. Explain the relationship between the individual and the association or movement.**    Please write **__two__extended** power paragraphs to address the above question. **Each paragraph** should meet the following expectations:

Starting in the early 1980s, the thirst for exercise increased rapidly, thanks to hollywood actress Jane Fonda. "In 1979, Fonda established her first workout studio in Beverly Hills, and the concept took off"(Braunstein). With in the first year, Fonda sold about 2 million copies. The idea of getting in shape spread, and so did the number of work out studios in other cities. Fonda picked a good time to start making work out videos because the people of the 80s were just getting started in "the work out craze", "it also helped jump-start the infant home-video industry"(Braunstein).

This was significant in the 1980s because it made it so mothers who had a new born could stay at home, and get in shape. Due to Fonda's popularity and easy to do videos, "she helped everyday people join the fitness craze of the 80s"(Compton). With out Fonda, it would have been harder for the busy,working adults of the to keep up with the fitness craze of the 80s.

<span style="background-color: #9008b6; color: #00ffff; display: block; font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;">__Task Two--EVALUATE YOUR TOPICS INFLUENCE--Due March 15th__ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'times new roman',times,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: left;">Please write two extended power paragraphs which each cite a minimum of 3 sources: two new ones and any of the three sources used in Task One. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'times new roman',times,serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: left;">** PROMPT: Discuss the scope of influence of your topic on the 1980s. How extensive was the influence? Which part of society was influenced? Did the change endure or stimulate additional changes? What is the topic's legacy? What impact did the topic have in the Twenty-First Century. ** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: 17px; text-align: left;">Please write two extended power paragraphs to address this prompt. The new, big thing in the 1980s was fitness. People suddenly got really into the fact that you have control over how you look and it seemed like everybody joined in. Jane Fonda was just another pull factor to the fitness band wagon. Fonda made it easy to stay fit and not change your everyday life too drastically, especially for stay at home women.

Fonda started out as an actress, which made her popular amoung society in the 80s. When she started making home work out videos, everybody was interested. Her videos made it so you could work out when it was convieniant for you. Fondas influence extended mostly to adults who had a hard time fitting working out into their schedule. It stimulated people to be more motivated to work out because they didn't have to drop everything and go work out, they could just do it at home when they could find time to. Work out videos aren't quite as popular today as they were then, because now we have local gyms all over the place. However, work out videos are still used and you see commercials for them on TV all the time.

<span style="background-color: #00ffff; color: #9008b6; display: block; font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: 20px; text-align: left;">Task Three--JUDGE THE IMPACT OF THE INDIVIDUAL & ASSOCIATIO --Due Mar. 19th <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: 'times new roman',times,serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;">Now that you have a basic understanding of your topic and know the scope of its influence, explain the forces that produced or created the topic. Additionally, identify the driving forces behind the society's reaction to your topic? Use the criteria described in the the **Great Man Continuum** to determine your topics long-run influence on society. Place your topic on the continuum and justify the reasons for your placement. Please confine your analysis to two extended power paragraphs with each one citing a minimum of 3 credible sources. <span style="background-color: #ffff00; display: block; font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">Encyclopedic sources are not acceptable for this task. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800080; display: block; font-family: 'times new roman',times,serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;">**PROMPT: Explain the forces that produced or created your topic. Use the four criteria of the Great Man Continuum to analyze the topic's long-run significance in American society. Specifically, (1) describe the significance of the accomplishment, (2) the endurance of the legacy, (3) extent of the topics influence, and** **(4) impact on daily life of people then and now.** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800080; display: block; font-family: 'times new roman',times,serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800080; display: block; font-family: 'times new roman',times,serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #800080; display: block; font-family: 'times new roman',times,serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;">** In my opinion, I would place Jane Fonda as an __eventful hero__. Anybody could have done what she had done, she was just the first one to do it and actually be successful. She was a leader in the fitness world because society already had an interest in health and was ready for a change. Fonda simply made the idea of getting in shape popular, and made work out videos so it could be easy to work out. The endurence of legacy was moderate, people still use work out videos, but not as much as they did back in the 1980s. Fonda mostly influenced the people of the 80s and not so much people of today. The impact on daily life was moderate in the 80s, but was short run because there is currently little effect now. Thanks to Fonda work out videos got big, but now they aren't as big as they were. **
