For Monday (8:30) No Class on Friday

Hello all,

Today we learned about skepticism or the mode of thought focused on the stability of our experiences and existences. How DO we know we here? Humm?

We then spent some time doing our knowledge nugget on Plath's The Bell Jar. This knowledge nugget asked you to list three themes from the reading. Themes such as love sucks, women are punished for being crazy, etc. After we established these themes, we then tried to think about how we could "practice" and "teach" these themes through other modes such as images, film, and songs. We located one example of each of our themes and then posted these on our blogs. This knowledge nugget was to prepare us for our last project which focuses on sharing knowledge that we have gained with others.

Here is an overview of Project Three:

Project Description
Project three deals with taking the knowledge that you have collected and created and using it to teach a larger audience. The question at the heart of this project is: What good is knowledge if it is not shared? As such using your topic from project two, you will be created a multi-faceted and multi-modal presentation of your knowledge. You will create a four-mode teaching tool, an digitalized interview with a person involved in the topic, use a digital tool to house your information, volunteer with an organization and maintain a log about this experience, create a poster presentation, and present your poster/ideas at the Showcase.

For our first exercise for project three, we will be located four modes that reflect on our Project Two work.

Description: The first step for Project Three is to select four fictional presentations that relate an element from your research for Project Two. As a scholar who has researched your topic, you are now asked to go out and locate fictional examples that make and present commentary on the ideas from your Project Two. After selection of these fictional presentations (a book, a film, a song, and a piece of artwork), you will rhetorically analyze these four to investigate and to explain how they operate and represent your topic.

Process:
a. locate four (a book, a film, a song, and a piece of artwork) presentations which as a work of fiction present an element from your Project Two research. (Unless you have okay’ed with me a shift in your research).
