  • “Interpreting ‘Go Carolina’: Engaging with Peer Sources to Formulate an Argument”

    Revise your interpretive essay draft to engage peer sources
    Start by thinking about your inquiry/argument and the inquiries/arguments of your two peers. Where do they intersect and overlap? Where is there agreement and where is there disagreement? Where is that agreement and disagreement rooted? What do your various arguments have to say to one another? The aim for this essay is to make an interpretive argument in relation to the interpretive arguments of others, so try to get a sense of where your peers stand in relation to each other and where you stand in relation to them. In case it helps, I have provided a few student samples, though they are not perfect. Then, think about how you’ll want to arrange your essay. You’ll need to summarize the perspectives of your peers, and you’ll need to explain how those perspectives are relevant to your interpretive question; where will those sections go? And you’ll want to include your own analysis; where will that work best?
    Note: There are many effective ways to organize of this essay, though simply adding your peer perspectives to the end won’t really work because it will seem as though you’d already come to a conclusion before examining the work of your sources. Instead, try to integrate the work with peer sources so that the draft has a smooth, organic “flow.”
    Then, revise your initial interpretive essay draft so that it grows from a central research question, explains what your peer sources might say in response to that question (in detail!), evaluates the strength and weaknesses of their perspectives, and that then draws on your own analysis of the text and your evaluation of peers’ arguments to make an argument of your own.
    Be sure to cite your peers’ work and the primary text, “Go Carolina,” according to MLA format for in-text citationsAlso in academic writing, in which the goal is to articulate a claim in relation to the claims of others, we often use “I” when evaluating sources’ perspectives and comparing/contrasting them with our own, so don’t be afraid to say things like, “Whereas [Source A] believes the text is about _____, I argue that it is instead about ______.”
    Once you’re finished, go over the draft to make sure that it’s well-polished, flows well, and is grammatically correct.
    i will send you my interpretive essay and then i will send my two friends essay and you need to use the other two essay find inquires as stated above .
    keep in mind that the point of this unit is not about writing interpretive essays, but about working with scholarly sources, so you’re meant to treat your peer essays just as you would any scholarly source.
    Here are some tips for success: Introduce your peer sources formally, giving their full names and the titles of their essays (after that, refer to your peers by their last names)
    Summarize their arguments in *detail* (using phrases like, “so-and-so argues…”)
    Quote and paraphrase them and use proper citation as you do so
    Explain what you think of your peers’ arguments and your perspective in relation to them (it’s okay and even recommended to use “I”)
    In a nutshell, the draft you turn in should pose an interpretive question, explain what your peers (your sources) would say in response to that question, and then make your own argument in relation to the arguments of your peer sources.
    Also, consider your readers to be people outside of this class, which means you will have to introduce and summarize “Go Carolina” as well.
    I hope this helps, and good luck!

  • Design Theories and Models for Effective Instructional Technology Integration

    Theories and models ground teaching practice in empirical research and tested experiences. As a technology coach and classroom teacher, you can use theory to apply technology purposefully to meet instructional challenges.
    Read “Theories, Models, Frameworks, and Strategies.” Imagine you have been asked to conduct a professional development session about design theories and models that can be applied to instructional technology and promote learning in the digital environment.

    Select two learning theories and two instructional design models that will be the basis of your research and presentation.
    The presentation should address the following:
    Explain each theory and model and how it relates to instructional practice when using technology. Include specific, real-world examples to illustrate your ideas.
    Provide 2-3 examples of specific frameworks or instructional strategies that are relevant to each model and include a rationale why each supports learning in the digital environment.
    Title slide, reference slide, and speaker notes.

    In this essay, you’re going to analyze the characters’ use of logic (or misuse of logic when you identify logical fallacies) to explain (pick one): why the women were able to solve the murder OR why the men were unable to solve the murder.

  • Analyzing “The Traditional College Student” by Dr. Regina Deil-Amen: Validity and Importance of the Reading’s Content

    Read “The Traditional College Student” by Dr. Regina Deil-Amen. & Then, write a 1-2 page double-spaced analysis of it. Sample Analysis by Dr. Hofmann &
    This is an analysis, not a persuasive essay, so you do not need a thesis. However, every analysis should mention the title and author of the piece at the beginning so readers know your subject.
    Make sure to include:
    the title and author’s name of the reading you are analyzing in the first sentence
    a brief summary (1-2 paragraphs) of the main points
    an important quote or two from the piece that are remarkable- some professors call these “golden lines.” You can list these at the top of embed them within your discussion, as you prefer. These quotes might be useful to you later in an essay.
    any logical fallacies you observe (I don’t expect to see this before the week when we learn about logical fallacies)
    your analysis (1-2) paragraphs) of the importance and/or validity of the reading’s content.
    The analysis is the most important item in the assignment. In the analysis portion you can:
    ” evaluate the importance, or lack thereof, of the author’s main ideas (you can also compare the importance of some of the contents of the reading versus others)
    evaluate the amount of evidence the author provides to support his/her points (it is sufficient? relevant? valid? etc.)
    * ask questions that the piece raises for you
    try to make connections between this reading and other readings in this class and/or elsewhere, or in the public sphere, the news, etc.
    You may conclude with a brief reflection, but that is entirely optional.
