AMERICA'S RESPONSE TO A CHANGING WORLD
Your to-do list
Where do you get your news?The role of the news mediaWhat is the role of the news media? Let's get beyond the idea that their role is to report on what is going on in the world. Does the news media have a larger role to play in society? If so, what is that role? If not, why should the news media be limited in its role? Please respond at the Role of the News Media on Google Classroom. The spread of false informationRecently, several social media outlets have made the move to limit the spread of what they deem to be false information, specifically regarding the spread of the coronavirus.
To start, do some research and find five facts about what has happened. Be sure to note the sources that you use. Once we have had a chance to discuss what has happened, please proceed to the next part of the activity. Do you think these social media companies should do this? Should they be able to do this? Should they be prevented from doing this or should more social media outlets follow suit? Please respond on Google Classroom at the Spread of False Information assignment.

How do you determine what is needed to construct a convincing argument?Watch the video and answer the questions below.
Please head to Google Classroom to respond to these questions under the Constructing a Convincing Argument question. You can find the video there as well. Construct your own bad arguments"In his book, On Writing, Stephen King writes, 'One learns most clearly what not to do by reading bad prose.'" We have spent some time looking at how to construct a strong argument. Today, in hopes of following Stephen King's advice, we are going to look at bad arguments. Using the resources posted below and on Google Classroom, you and your teammates are going to create five examples of bad arguments. For each, you will make a Flipgrid video showing people executing a poor argument. You can find the link for the Flipgrid topic on Google Classroom. All images above are taken from the Book of Bad Arguments website. If you are looking for more resources to learn about bad arguments, check out this YouTube playlist from PBS. You can also learn more about bad arguments here. I would recommend testing your knowledge with this quiz as well. Your homework: |
