Due for Monday, 12/18 Blog post: Link us to an opinion's piece or editorial that you disagree with and discuss what it's trying to do and why it's not successful for you. Then, if you can think of a way to do this succinctly, try to persuade your reader why your stance on the issue is more compelling. Feel free to discuss some logical fallacies as well! Due for Tuesday, 12/19 Blog Post Post a link to an op-ed, editorial, or opinions piece that you think is compelling. How does it try to convince the reader? What sort of argument or evidence is it using? What about this piece do you think works? Would you have anxiety sharing this piece with someone who holds different political, cultural, social, or religious views than you do? Why or why not? Due for Thursday 12/22 Bring a wrapped gift for our gift exchange if you want to participate! Also, talk to Ellie if you want to bring in food or something. Over the Break nothing really! Just review argumentation slides because you'll have some in-class writing on rhetorical explications the week we return. For each chapter for Parts 3 and 4 of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow:
1. Pick one of these following questions: - Do you need privilege to pursue creativity? What is the relationship between privilege and creativity? - Is escapism inherently therapeutic? - If something isn't physical, does it make it less important, less real? - What is the difference between playing a role and playing a game? - Where does inspiration come from? How does identity impact your creativity outlook, if at all? - Does collaboration inherently make something less 'yours'? 2. Find a quotation that engages this question 3. Add it to a document alongside a 2-3 sentences on what thoughts the quotation evokes for you as a discerning reader. 4. Submit a link to this doc onto Schoology! Due for Friday Read through Chapter 3 of Part 3 of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Collect quotes! Due for Friday 11:59pm Submit your Antigone op-ed onto Schoology!

Due for Wednesday, 12/13 Keep reading and filling in your notes! You should read through 4A for Wednesday's class. Due for Friday, 12/15 Keep reading and filling in your notes! You should finish the part for Friday's class. Due for Monday, 12/18 1. Complete the TTT radio story challenge and submit it onto schoology! 2. Complete the Sophomore Speech Brainstorming Chart (first two pages of the document on the resources page!); submit this onto Schoology. Due for Tuesday 12/05 Read Chapters 1 and 2 of Hiroshima and this article from Vox about mental health TikTok. Blog Post: On pages 29-30, we follow the perspective of Mr. Tanimoto as he races into the city, unharmed. The narration puts forth that, "the wounded limped past the screams, and Mr. Tanimoto ran past them. As a Christian he was filled with compassion for those who were trapped, and as a Japanese he was overwhelmed by the shame of being unhurt, and he prayed as he ran, 'God help them and take them out of the fire.'" Revisit these pages and consider whether or not the "shame of being unhurt" has any echoes or reflections in our society and context today, especially in the age of finstas and oversharing on TikTok. Does this idea register to us as foreign or familiar? In what ways do we see this notion, if at all, in our society or our school today? Can "normalizing stigma" go too far into the realm of encouraging or spreading unwanted behavior?
Due for MONDAY because we didn't have time to write in class Read Chapter 3 of Hiroshima. Be prepared to to consider the following question in writing in class: Review some of the articles named in the content moderation slides as well as this article from Politico about Facebook's oversight committee. Would you consider morality to be more cultural than objective, and how might that impact your thinking about how different people should engage with each other in peace or violence? How should a government, multinational corporation, or private individual try to weigh or prioritize conflicting or clashing value systems? How would you settle the question of whether or not to host content regarding Black Pete or #KillAllMen on a social media platform that is widely used and accessible by anyone in the world? ALSO Read Chapter 4 of Hiroshima! Make a note: what's the slant? How do you know? Come to class with a passage (2-3 paragraphs) that do a lot of work. We'll discuss these in class! |
