1. This week in class, you each shared two examples of "model" texts/videos which communicate science to non-experts. Would you please ADD info/links about your models to the "Parade of Genres" Google Doc above? Let's create a database of great resources!
2. In class, Jana asked you to think of a question about your studies which you'd love to be asked at a party (e.g. "Would humans survive if there were still dinosaurs?") For HW, please prepare a quick answer (1-3 min. max) to this question which you might actually deliver at a party. In your answer, be aware of how you are managing your "ladder of abstraction" - try to go up and down the ladder in a way that will keep your audience interested. This can be very informal - you can write out your speech, or just take some notes on what you would say.
