Exploratory Essay

Here is an example from a past class.

Here, again, is the assignment -

1. MLA format
2. Two sources (don't use them to just get them out of the way. Let them guide your exploration of your topic).
3. Explore at least one aspect of a subject, topic, or issue you have always been interested in and wanted to know more about.

Those Millennials

In light of the fact that CBS's website is horrible and we can't stream The Millennials are Coming, let's watch this one instead.


Tuesday, January 28, 2014

For Monday 2.3

Okay, Millennials, we're going to put your tech savviness to the test.

On iTunes, search for Mark Bauerlein.  Then under iTunes U, find his "Feaver-MacMinn Seminar," which is an interview featuring Bauerlein.

As you watch the 28 minute piece (see, we will also put your attention span to the test as well), please two pieces of feedback regarding Bauerlein's main points. One piece should be something with which you agree. The second piece should be something with which you disagree.  Be sure to explain why in a short paragraph.

Then leave two responses to classmates' feedback.

Follow the Skitch screen captures below to find the iTunes U interview.







Thanks
