Week 02a Writing Tip: Ask Questions You Can Answer – Session Slides

(Links to an external site.)

In the previous class session, we referenced that this class is based on experiential rather than rote learning. This certainly applies to the resources we share with you to read, watch, and listen to.

There are no examinations or book reports in which your job is to memorize as much of the resource as possible in order to regurgitate it to us. We don’t want you to summarize the readings for us.

Rather, we want you to demonstrate your agility as a scholar in being able to quickly and thoughtfully reference the published resources we share with you and connect it with your own lived experience.

For this week’s tip, we want you to consider the stress of rote-learning courses where instructors ask questions to test whether or not you have learned the material or not.[Order Now]

In this discussion activity, we want you to recognize that this is a space where we expect you to ask questions after engaging with resources, and that you have the answers within your own lived experience or the agency to pursue the answers for yourself.

Again this week, as with Week 01 and as will be the case through Week 08, you were provided 10 resources in the Week 02 Pre-assignment. You were provided four required sources: Chew-Bose (2014), Delgado (1989), Lomas Garza (1990), and Style (1996).

You were also assigned to pick two of the remaining six resources. Choose one of the resources you cited in your Week 02 Pre-assignment and take five minutes to answer the following questions:

What is a question you would like to ask the writer about their past?

What is a question the writing makes you ask you about your past?

What question does the writing make you ask moving forward?

In choosing which resource to work with and in developing questions you might ask of the author or yourself, you may repeat the prompt we provided you with in Writing Tip #1:

What is a word or phrase (10 words or less) that resonated with you? What questions come up for you as you reflect on this resonance, this resource, and its author(s)?

Once you have written out your response – again this doesn’t need to take more than 5 minutes or 100 words or so – post your response to the discussion board.[Order Now]

Please also read other people’s posts and consider whether what they are saying – either about the resource or about their own lived experience – is a window or mirror for you.

Post these thoughts as replies to their post if you are willing to connect with them and potentially continue the conversation.

Again, as we mentioned before you may note that this writing tip and what you post to the discussion board might include a revision or excerpt of your Week 02 Pre-assignment.

This is fine, as long as you continue to revise your writing and as long as you recognize that this post is to a wider and more public audience. Sharing our stories with your peers and our broader EDUC 251 community is part of our work together as well. You may also utilize this writing tip in completing your future pre-class assignments.
