Write a reaction on Utopias
Blog Post
Reaction Part 1
Write 1-2 paragraphs
(or so) about some aspect of the reading, video, map or other medium
that grabs your attention and you would like to discuss. I am not
looking for you to summarize the source. Instead, I would like you to
identify some theme or issue raised in the reading and interpret (V) its
significance (V). You need not deal with the source as a whole; in
fact, you may want to focus on a small part of the larger source. You
may wish to draw comparisons between the source of the day, or between
today's and previous readings, video and other. You may wish to discuss
how the source relates to some larger issue in the project
(e.g.sustainability, personal issues, government).
Reaction Part 2
The
second component of the reaction is the identification of some issue
that can be suitable for discussion. This can be one or two sentences
long, and it can be as simple as identifying a quote from one of the
sources that you find illuminating (V) and interesting or questionable
and briefly stating what important issue you see in the quote. You might
also raise a point of comparison between readings, video or other
media. The issue may be related to your topic discussion, though it need
not be. Post these reactions after reading, viewing or experiencing the
source.
