Welcome to the Earth 107 Blog! Below are your instructions. When you post make sure you pick the correct week under Categories on the right side of the page..
- First, think about what you have learned this week and identify something you found particular interesting, something we have caused you to think differently about, something you don’t understand, or something you would like to know more about. This is critical. Without this component your entry will not be metacognitive. You should write a few sentences on it (in word first preferably). We are absolutely not looking for you to repeat material directly from the course website (see Rubric below).
- Next, take this concept broadly speaking and do some research on it in the media. Describe how what you learn about it relates to what you have previously learned in the module. For instance, have you found out something new? Something different (we profs can be wrong) or something that you would like to pursue? Write a few sentences on this new angle.
- Finally summarize how what you have read in the media has altered your original question, opinion or idea.
- Before you finish, and this is key, you MUST cite your media sources.
