Social Media Seminar Prep

Starter 3

1. Put your social media response on your desk.
2. Gallery walk!  Go look at or read 3-5 responses.
3. Write a paragraph in response to one you looked at.  You could include...
   • What was it?
   • What's your reaction?
   • What does it make you think?
   • How does it connect to other texts/ideas/discussions?

Seminar Prep (all texts are linked on the DOCS page of my DP!)
For EACH of the three articles, please type the following in a document.  Email or share it with Lori before class on Friday.

1. Read and annotate the article (make sure to look up any vocab...ironically, you can use your phone for this).  Make sure to go deeper than just an initial emotional response.  Make connections, analyze, question!
2. Find three sentences that stand out to you, and write them down in a list.  They could be sentences that move you, that ring with truth, that make you angry, that you totally disagree with.
3. Write a paragraph response to ONE of the sentences.  Pick it apart, react to it, respond…OR Draw a picture in response to each of the sentences…OR do some combination of the above.  If you do the visual option, you can give Lori the hard copy before class on Friday.
4. In addition, what is the thesis here?  What’s the main argument being made?

 
Finally, after you’ve read and prepped all the articles, write 2-3 seminar questions.  These could be about a specific article, or they could be questions that span the breadth of all the articles.  They could be questions you don’t know the answer to, or questions that you think would spark a healthy discussion.

HOMEWORK:
Finish seminar prep before class on Friday.
