Summary:
Today in class we began by opening up all necessary devices/ notebooks to take notes. Mr. Rivers began class by warning us of a potential lock down however this did not happen. The class then proceeded to open up their notes while Mr. Rivers began talking. Today our "I will be able to" (IWBAT) was to specify topics by applying an academic lens and to use research to carve the purpose function of my paper. These two objectives were set to further work on our paper proposals that we have been working on in class. Today however we expanded upon these ideas by taking vague topics and expanding upon them through specification. Students first worked on this individually and then discussed with their group members. This then led to a class discussion and in which every group shared at least one sentence. Finally, provided the class with time to work individually on their proposals. This assignment was started last week and requires research. Below is the assignment which can also be found on google classroom.
*If you cannot see the image well enough here is the assignment...
A revised (and specific) one sentence proposal: (5 points/variable = 20)
Scholarly Evidence: A brief 3-4 sentence description of the article, a link to the source, a citation, and what part of it will help to shape your paper. (5)
Cinematic Evidence: A brief 3-4 sentence description of your film, a citation, and what part of it will help to shape your paper. (5)
In 200-300 words, explain why the paper you propose is relevant to your scholarly community. (10)
