¶ … Caesar salad
Well, First You -- Well, You Know
Anybody who has ever tried to explain a simple task that she is very familiar with to someone else has most likely found the experience to be a very frustrating one. Being able to do something is not in any way the same as being able to analyze and then describe a task so that another person can understand what is needed to accomplish the same task. At least as difficult is the task of describing how one does something so that another person can analyze it to determine if the task is being accomplished in the most efficient way. This paper provides a task analysis of a simple job that most people have performed: Making a Caesar salad. However, by breaking it down into its component parts and outlining how cause and effect run through this system, this paper demonstrates that even the simplest-seeming task is a complex series of decisions, actions, and feedback processes.
Before beginning the task analysis of the making of a Caesar salad, this paper provides a brief description of what elements are important to any task analysis. It is important to note that a task analysis includes all elements of how a task is accomplished: This includes mental and cognitive aspects of the task as well as the physical...
A task analysis also includes a description of all of the equipment needed (including training or education required on the part of the task's actor) as well as any environmental conditions that are required. (For example, can the task be performed both inside and outside? Can it only be performed if the ambient temperature is within a certain range? Can it be performed by both adults and children?)
We can now perform a task analysis of the making of a Caesar salad. The first step in the task of making a Caesar salad is the knowledge that there is such a thing as a Caesar salad that can be made (Kirwan & Ainsworth, 1992, p. 27). The next step is the decision to do so. These steps may seem to be too obvious to include, but a task analysis is in fact many ways a process of acknowledging the obvious. It is essential to remember when creating a task analysis that simply because something is obvious (especially in retrospect) this does not mean that it is trivial (Crandall, Klein & Hoffman, 2006, p. 81).
The second stage of the task -- after the cognitive acknowledgement that such a task is possible and the motivation to accomplish the task -- is gathering the ingredients and tools needed to do so.…

As You Like it The version chosen is the 1936 as You Like it directed by Paul Czinner and starring Laurence Olivier as Orlando and Elisabeth Berner as Rosalind. In Shakespeare's day all the women's parts were played by men which makes the whole women disguised as men thing more believable. Is it less believable to see women playing women who are then disguised as men? Though the story is set in France,
As You Like it One of William Shakespeare's more accessible plays, As You Like It is a delightful romantic comedy that tickles audiences' hearts as much today as it did in Elizabethan England. The play's themes and characters cross conventional boundaries of gender, morality, and class. In fact, central to As You Like It is a celebration of conflict, contrast, and contradiction. The trappings of courtly life are pitted against the
Pastoral/Forest Scenes 'As you like it" is one of the darker comedies of Shakespeare's and is largely based on pastoral tradition that was very popular during Renaissance. This comedy especially draws inspiration from a pastoral novel by Thomas Lodge entitled "Rosalynde." Published in 1590, this romance by Lodge provided all the material that Shakespeare later needed for his own comedy including the exiled ruler, the animosity between two brothers, young
William Shakespeare's As You Like It William Shakespeare's play As You Like It is probably one of his best comedy plays. It has been said that Shakespeare's plays illustrate the many sides of his genius and humor.
