Today in class we reviewed essays and academic lenses, that we may possibly use for our senior paper. An academic lens is like a field of study. History, environmental science, and psychology are all examples of academic lenses. We analyzed a paper with an environmental science academic lens, and then wrote a topic sentence about that paper. The format for this topic sentence needed to include four things, an academic lens, a movie for that field, an essay that a scholar in that field may write, and lastly a brief description of what that field studies. Once we understood how to write a topic sentence we than went on and tried to make three examples of our own. My personal three were history, psychology, and environmental science. For my psychology lens I wrote "A psychology scholar writes a paper on how people are a product of your environment and how your personality is developed no later than six years old, the movie he would use is Man of Steel as his main source and Kurt Cobain's Montage of Heck as his secondary source." Originally he said he would like to see a fictional movie but Kurt Cobain is the soul purpose I would write this paper so I threw it in as a secondary source, which he said was okay. That's all we did today, until Mr. Rivers class was rudely interrupted by the bell and we all moved on to our net class.
Have a good night and Rock on
