Annalyzing

Well, I enjoyed the discussion on Expelled today! Great thoughts, everybody. The rough draft of your papers are due this Thursday, and we'll spend some time peer reviewing them. Also, please read Jacoby's essay! It's rather interesting, so I'm looking forward to that discussion as well.  Here's the list of questions to keep in mind as you're reading:
  • What is his thesis?
  • What is he trying to accomplish?
  • What is his argument? 
  • Does he acheive his goal?
  • Are you convinced?
  • Has it challenged your thinking? Moved you from where you stood before you read it?
  • What could have made it better?
See ya Thursday! 

p.s. The final draft for your paper will be due on Tuesday, for planning purposes (except for you, Nicole).
