To complete your own S.W.O.T. Analysis

Find pictures on the Internet that represent the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in your life.
Open the "swot_analysis_handout" document provided above.
For each picture you find, locate the picture on the Cartesian coordinate system (see an example below!). The x axis will range from weaknesses to strengths, and the y axis will range from threats to opportunities. As you place each picture on the Cartesian plane, make sure to consider where the picture best fits on the plane and provide a caption that explains why you placed the picture in that quadrant. Remember: You have to consider the relationship between the external factors and the internal factors when placing them on a Cartesian plane!

Online Productivity

Create content for your website. Keep in mind that the content you create should reflect your interests (the topic of your website), the way you like to express yourself (writing, visual images, video, etc.), and be useful to a pre-defined audience.
