Key for week 13:
HW for week 14:
Reading outside of your comfort zone
Instructions:
● Find an article, video, image, podcast or graphic that is immediately interesting to you because it is on a topic you know or care about or are somehow connected to already.
●
Now take a second look. Find an article, video, image, podcast or
graphic that is outside of your usual comfort zone, yet still seems potentially
interesting.
●
Read — or watch or listen to — them both.
●
Make notes and answer the following
questions:
●
Tell us more about the first reading you chose: What did you find that
was immediately interesting? Why? Did you find the piece worthwhile? Why or why
not?
●
Tell us more about the second item: What did you find that was a stretch
for you and outside your usual interests? What happened when you read — or
watched or listened to — it? Did you find the piece worthwhile? Why or why not?
●
Is there any connection between the two items? Is there any common
ground between them? Did the understanding of one item help you to understand
or analyse the second item? Or, are the two items in contradiction?
You will
talk about your readings in the class in small groups. Be ready to summarize
the readings and to answer the three questions above.
