M3.4 Reflect and Ask Questions
Reflect & Ask Questions



Evolve


In Module 3 you grappled with the concepts of critical thinking and argumentative reasoning for today and tomorrow. You examined the standard-bearer for scholarly thoughtthe peer-reviewed journal articleand considered what it can tell us and how it differs from other kinds of sources. In Module 4, you will continue questioning and examining information to understand that not all information is created equal, and in fact, some of it isnt the truth at all.

As you reflect on what you learned in this module, ask yourself:

Do I understand the components of a peer-reviewed journal article and how to use it in an academic argument?
Can I spot a logical fallacy when I see or hear it?
How does an academic debate differ from the debates I see on social media or in personal conversations?
Do I have any questions about the feedback I've been receiving from my instructor on my as

M3.3 Course Project - Milestone 3



Evaluate


Thesis Statement Draft and Source Evaluation
In Modules 1 and 2 you chose a final project topic and narrowed your focus through the process of brainstorming and finding preliminary sources. Make sure you are reading your instructors feedback each week and making improvements before submitting the next Milestone. For example, if your instructor suggested replacing any of the sources you listed in Milestone 2, or refining your narrowed topic of focus, make sure to take that into account before working on Milestone 3.

Now, in Module 3, you will draft a thesis statement and evaluate your sources for relevance and credibility.

Step 1: Thesis Statement Draft
Make sure you have completed pages 3.9 through 3.11 in Chapter 3 on Drafting your Thesis Statement. There, you will learn more about how to create a concise, specific, effective, and relevant thesis statement and then draft it in the webtext, so i

M4.2 Discussion: From a Post-Truth World to a Pro-Truth World



Engage


Today, the prevalence of social media, the rise of algorithms, filter bubbles, bots, and international hacking efforts have brought the issue of fake news to the forefront of our national and international consciousness.  As you read in the webtext this week, the spread of misinformation is not an entirely new problem and it does not have one simple solution. However, there are changes all information consumers can make to how they engage with stories, facts, and data that can lead us from a post-truth world to a pro-truth world.

Begin by reading chapter 4 of the webtext and viewing all of Professor Alex Edmans TED Talk What to Trust in a Post-Truth World, below.

Analyze one scene in God Father 1
Pick one of your favorite movies (or tv show/short film), something you've seen before and know well.

Pick a scene from the film, the most important/pivotal scene, or perhaps just your favorite one, or the most memorable. Analyze it using the terms of story structure as discussed in class.

Zooming OUT: Explain the scene in context of the larger narrative. Which part/act of the film does this take place? Does this scene contain any major plot points (example: an inciting incident that begins Act II), or is it not as important to the narrative and serves another purpose (example: a scene to set the mood, the develop characters, to build the world, etc). This can be just a paragraph or two of casual writing.

Zooming IN: Describe the beats of the scene, the individual moments. Identify the major beat, the key moment that the scene is building up to, the reason the scene is in the movie. Break down (if possible) the scene into the mi
