First Research

Happy Monday!!!!!

It is time for you to participate in your learning!

This week, you are going to find an ACADEMIC article over a topic you would like to discuss.  YOU are going to find the article, send the link in your comment, complete the SOAPSTone process on your article, and make an argument about why this would be so ACADEMICALLY fitting for our class.

Sources:

(The password is listed on the site right in front of you: pap58206)
The articles from the database are peer reviewed and are all credible, which makes it a great source.

.gov, .edu..........................if the article is published at a university or from our local, state, or federal government, it will be acceptable.

After those options, NOTHING ELSE IS AS A CREDIBLE SOURCE THIS FIRST TIME.  Can you hear me yelling?

If you try to use the USA Today, MSNBC, FOX News as sources......................the best grade you can hope to get is a 50%.  We are demanding Academic credibility for the first article you find.


Your article link, your written SOAPSTone, and your argument about why your article should be read by the whole class are all due on Sunday, Feb. 5th by 1156pm.

Explore, challenge yourself.  Argue well.  This post is worth double....................so don't mess it up.

Islamophobia

Hello, Friends!!

In the articles we read about Islamophobia, your assignment is this:

1)  Study the Audience.  To whom would these articles be directed?  What is their demographic?  How do you know?  Prove it.

2)  Why this Subject?  What makes this so much more relevant than it was 10 years ago?  Why is it important to discuss in a class like ours?

3)  Purpose - what were the authors of these two articles trying to accomplish?  Were their individual purposes met?  Yes?  No?  Prove it.

You need to write about 10 sentences total in responding to the questions asked.  Use textual evidence to defend your positions.

This is easy.  Be thoughtful.  Write well.
