Writing

1. As you read the different readings from BBCP this week I would like you to take notes regarding what stands out to you in each of the sections. Then, to help you start to make sense of the week's readings as a whole I would like you to complete a summary based on "the countdown approach" :
• Make a list of the five most important "ideas" from this week's readings.
• RANK them in importance from #5 (least important of the list) to #1 (most important of the list).
• EXPLAIN why you think each element is important and why it has the ranking that it does on your personal list.

 

2. In the same document as question 1, write a 1-2 paragraph summary of your chosen research article as part of your reflection for the week.

Submission

I will be grading this on purely a 1/0 basis.  You get credit for submitting something "on time" and that shows that you put time and effort/thought into crafting a meaningful response. 

I do not see there being any right or wrong answers in this activity.  Similarly, length of your answer does not necessarily correlate with the quality of your answers.  Instead, I will be looking to see if you have considered a broad set of ideas/concepts for this reflection and will be looking at the clarity with which you have crafted your response(s).  This includes things like spelling, grammar, formatting, etc.

Please submit this via Blackboard by the end of the week.
