Glossary 3 (based on Critical Reading) due 10/26
First go in and read the full assignment under our Essay Assignments/ Projects section in the 2nd Moodle box.
Our semester long Critical Reading Reaction Glossaries are about making connections between our critical readings and the books we read for this course. Your task is to add and reflect on the important discussions that emerge in these readings about themes, topics, controversies, and general reflections about the culture of Young Adult literature today.
For the glossaries you will draw connections between articles and particular books we have read. Your entry may take the shape of an audio file, a video you have made, a collection of images with your own reflections/text overlaid, ..anything that you feel takes some concept, point, or quote from the articles and expands on that thinking with your own form of visual analysis. You are also welcome to play around with pulling out a few quote and reflecting on it along with adding digital additions. In these slides I would like to see you over the course of the semester experiment with different mediums and ways of reflecting your interpretations and analysis of our critical readings. And of course your work at large will demonstrate your knowledge of important concepts and concerns in YA lit.
You will need to incorporate work that shows your critical understanding of both articles and relates to our books. You might find you need two separate sections in your entry. This is fine, but submit only one file here.
Our glossaries will be displayed on the left-hand side of the class and will focus on a new entry each time you visit the course. They are public just like our forum posts.
Also like our forums these glossaries will remain open to read and look at all semester, but the deadline for posting a slide responding to a critical reading article is due by the assigned Saturday at midnight.
* For each glossary your entry is worth 100 pts.
Put your NAME in the TITLE of your Entry each time you add a post or slide.
This Critical Reading Glossary will focus on these articles:
"Don’t Drink the Water: Colonialism and Pete Hautman’s Godless"
"Carte Blanche: The Last Taboo"
In your glossary entry is there:
☐ Clear evidence of interaction with main points or concepts from the critical article with or without the use of quotes (but not just quotes standing alone)
☐ Visual or audio elements that add interest to the entry and mirror the content/topic
☐ Commentary showing reflection from the student on how glossary elements work together (if not self-explanatory)
☐ Connections or bridged links between the critical article and our YA book
