The weekly bonus opportunity will be posted here. Each one will be worth 1% which will be added to your final grade. You can earn up to 10%. This will help to balance homework that you forget to do or have trouble with as well as essays.
Each week I will post something that I think says something interesting (an article, an essay, a media clip) and I will ask you to respond to it using an essay format.
To get the points, you must post your reply on your own blog (or similar). You don't have to use your real name if you don't want to--just make sure I know who you are.
What I expect from your answers:
- 500 words or more--if you have fewer than this, you will receive 0 points--posted on your own blog (or similar).
- A thesis (which breaks down to a what and a why)
- What are you arguing against and why
- What is your reaction to this and why
- What parts of the argument are wrong and why
- Supporting points
- 2 quotes (when possible)
- More "I say" than "they say"
We will go over these expectations in class. If you have questions or need to talk about any of the bonus prompts, feel free to email me or meet with me.
New prompts will be posted on Monday. You can respond to the prompts as long as they are still up.
To answer a bonus prompt, write a 500 word response on your own blog and post a link it in the comments of this page like this: www.myblog.blogspot.com-- bonus #1 or something similar.
******************Bonus 17 and 18*********************
17: the Bechdale Test, People of Color Test, Mako Mori Test
Remember, this is not a test to judge quality. This is just to point out a systemic problem of women and people of color being represented less that white men. What do you think about this?
Bonus 18:
The year and semester is almost up. Are you proud of what you accomplished this year? Did you complete your New Years resolutions? People seemed to think 2016 was the worst (see video below). Was 2017 better? What do you hope/plan for 2018? What did you learn (or learn about yourself) from 2017?

ReplyDeletei thought your blog post was hilarious and absolutely on point. i completely agree on the reason of why we go to college. it is for the ability to say that i have a degree in so and so , and show off on our resume. i also did a summer internship and the real world experience does help put a perspective on the career that you chose. but i also think that the information that i have learned in school, i wouldn't have learned otherwise. the structure forces me want to learn more. i don't think i would teach myself most of this information if it wasn't required.
DeleteFor bonos prompt #9, you must post the regular 500 word post. So your reply needs to be on your own blog/tumbler/whatever and be 500 words. Expand on your ideas and what the prompt was. Restate the author's original idea.
