In this class, context is everything. We start with your own background, or context, before exploring your field of study and its various contexts.
In this discussion board, please answer the following prompts by Thursday night. These responses will be the draft to your personal narrative, due Sunday night. Your responses may be informal, however they should be proofread for clarity, syntax, and content.
Discussion Prompts:
- What knowledge or strengths do you already have related to your field of study?
- Are there trends related to your field of study that you’re already aware of?
- What areas of your field of study are most exciting or intriguing to you?
- What information have you heard about your field that concerns you?
- How do you want to use CRIT 602 to your own best advantage this term?
NOTE: This is an assignment tailored to this specific course. Submitting a personal narrative from another class is not only a form a plagiarism, but will not necessarily fulfill all the requirements for this assignment. For details, please go to Ch. 4 “Assignment Guidelines: Personal Narrative & Discussion.”Links to an external site. in the e-book. The Personal Narrative Rubric can be found here.
By Sunday night, please also respond to at least two other student posts in this forum. Your goal is, in part, to act as a peer reviewer of their personal narrative draft. Because this is a personal narrative, please be sure to keep your comments constructive, and please also receive student comments constructively as these are meant to help improve the content of your writing. Please do not copy edit. If there are grammatical or mechanical errors, suggest only that the student check over for clarity and to proofread.
In forming a substantial response that moves the conversation forward, you may want to draw connections between your experience and the student’s, ask students to elaborate on their prompts, build on their findings, or connect it to the readings and videos from last week.
