1 Blog post (150 – 200 words each)
DUE DATES
You will pick a topic (see below) by 22nd March and post a 150-200 word description of what you have picked and why.
Give your posts a topic heading.
You have to make sure your topic connects to course content in some way. You can change your focus as you go, as long as you show you are engaging with the course’s learning objectives.
I will be attaching the course content (lecture power point and some readings)
DESCRIPTION OF TASK
Rationale for assessment
An effective way to develop critical thinking, promote time management and build excellent communication skills is to keep a log or journal of your reflections on the course on a regular basis. To encourage you to develop this habit throughout your student life, and through your lifelong learning, you are required to post a weekly blog in the first five weeks of the course through the Learning Management System (LMS).
Learning Objectives
- To develop a writing habit that engages your curiosity and learning process
- To establish a reading habit
- To assess different types of evidence and argument governing the terms of a debate/articulation of a concept/significance of an issue.
- To identify the conditions that prompts the need for research
- To form a group or individual presentation for second part of assignment.
Choosing a topic
You might want to look at essay questions for assignment two and three to help with your decision for you blog posts. Your tutorial representations (part two of this assessment) do not have to be on topics written in your posts. You will be marked on the process more than the product. It is OK for you to choose an area of interest in blogs and presentation that overlaps with your other assignment questions. Use the list below as a guide for choosing your area of study for the formulation of your question:
- Ø a social movement (eg. Women’s liberation, class struggle, LGBTIQ, disability, asylum seekers, etc) in a struggle for democratic inclusion, participation or protest.
- Ø a public debate (eg. multiculturalism, gay marriage, hate speech, art and censorship).
- Ø a key concept (eg. equality, justice, tolerance, sovereignty, violence, etc.)
- Ø a theoretical perspective (eg. Marxist. Feminist, queer theory, postcolonial, psychoanalytic, poststructuralist, etc.)
- Ø a form of protest and/or lobbying (eg. Petitions, rallies, campaigns, govt. submissions, etc
