Homework for 1 -17


1.       Read some of your classmates’ article posts.  Comment on the article, your classmate’s summary of it, or both.  Some possible approaches: did you agree with the article?  Disagree?  Did it leave something important out?  Did it misrepresent something?  Should we distrust its source for some reason?  Feel free to go your own way.  If you’re discussing your classmate’s summary, it’s A-OK to point out relevant information that your classmate omitted or missed or misrepresented, but remember the class rules you all made regarding respect. 
2.       Read or watch some of your classmates’ visuals posts.  You may need to use their summaries to guide you on some pages (there are several that analyze a comic on a page that contains several comics).  Comment on one of your classmates’ chosen visuals.  Feel free to use the questions above (or your own!) to comment, or even to post other materials that might support or rebut (reply to or disagree with) your classmate’s post. 
Remember, it is great to comment on comments – continue the conversation.  This assignment is meant to be a class discussion in an online format, so substantive participation is expected.
