Your final essay is due on Monday, September 29th. We’ll begin to discuss essay # 2 and do an in-class writing exercise. No reading or blog assignment due on Monday.
For Wednesday, October 1st, please read: “Stoooopid …. why the Google generation isn’t as smart as it thinks” and write, on this blog, your thoughts in response to this article. You agree or disagree with the author? Why or why not? You should have posted your blog response by Wednesday morning, before class starts.
For Friday, October 3rd, / Please check blog again Friday afternoon to see what to do for next week (including reading for Friday). So for next week, please have this article read: “Is Google Making us Stupid?” and come into class with your proposed argument (for or against the two above articles) and be prepared to explain what approach you intend to take. You don’t need to know yet HOW you will argue, but rather what you hope to argue and how you plan to do your research and what evidence you hope to offer.
