My Interests

For this refection, I would like you to discuss, with examples, your interest in visual media (particularly comics, if you read them, but also films and shows, if that is what you normally view) that challenge us to ask questions about ourselves and the world we live in. Please limit your attention to the following questions (one paragraph per question):

  • What are some examples of comics, films, and/or shows that have challenged how you think?
  • For what reasons would you be inclined to communicate with others about those challenges?

For full credit on this reflection, you must stay on topic and be specific. Follow these steps (times are guidelines, not requirements). If you find yourself writing quickly and finishing soon, chances are strong that you could think harder and produce better content. Please take this into consideration instead of assuming you cannot do any better.

  1. In your shared folder in Google Drive, create a document and name it "Lastname.Firstname.My.Interests.S20" (2 mins)
  2. Brainstorm in your Google Document about comics, films, and shows that have challenged you and who might benefit from hearing your thoughts about those challenges (20 mins)
  3. Brainstorm in your Google Document about the details you plan to include in each paragraph (10 mins)
  4. Above your brainstorming section, write a paragraph in response to each question above (30 mins)
  5. Proofread your paragraphs carefully after writing them (10 mins)

Your "revision history" in Google Drive should show that you first typed out your brainstorming (label this part "Brainstorming") and then your paragraphs above the brainstorming. Your "revision history" should also show that you took ample time to go back and revise and proofread the paragraphs. Brainstorm, write, and revise in the Google document so that I can see your progress. Do NOT type your response in some other place or copy and paste into your Google document. Always do all of your typing in the Google document itself.

Your finished assignment (i.e., the two paragraphs) should total at least 200 words but no more than 300 words. Make sure the paragraphs are roughly the same length as each other.
