First Assignment for "Everything Bad . . ."

Here is the link to your first discussion points for the introduction and Ch. 1 of Steven Johnson's Everything Bad is Good for You.

The directions are on the wallwisher, but here they are again. I know how millennials love to read directions closely (just like Gen Xers).

Leave TWO observations for our first reading (intro and Ch. 1). One of the observations must include a link to a related source. Be willing to share in class both your observations and also how your outside source relates to the ideas discussed in the first reading.

If you are interested in (and millennials always are), here is an amazing TED podcast from Steven Johnson. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below.

  1. I love how he states that creativity is not an isolated event. It takes time and a lot of input. How can we do this better in class? I also loved his story of Sputnik so much that I used it in last year's Honors Speech.
