Below you will see the essential questions from our unit. Think about the articles you read. What do the different writers and researchers have to say? How would they answer the questions? What details/studies/quotes in the articles relate to the questions?
Directions: Pick those questions that you think are most relevant to the articles you read. For each article you read, create a post in which you discuss a relevant connection to the questions you picked. You can include any of the following in your post, but DO NOT SIMPLY REPEAT WHAT SOMEONE ELSE ALREADY SAID:
1. You can paraphrase what you think the author would say in response to the question.
2. You can connect specific evidence from the article to the question.
3. You can connect a specific quote from the article to the question.
4. You can connect a specific example from the article to the question.
5. You can take what someone else already posted and develop their idea with
another piece of evidence from the article.
6. You can respectfully disagree with what someone else already said and use
evidence from the article to back up your idea.
Important: Be sure to identify titles, authors, and researchers (if you are quoting any studies). Do not just list info., evidence, or quotes from the article. You must discuss the text details you use and clearly connect them to an answer to the question. Also, remember this is an academic blog, not a text or a tweet, so use clear, respectful, and formal language, and proofread!
