Step 1: Having considered the multiple perspectives expressed in the above
readings, which of these resonates the most for you (discuss at least 2 specific
examples) – explain why they are of interest to you (do they parallel your own
experiences, do they represent points of view or experiences you had not
previously considered?).
Step 2: Offer your own answers to the questions asked in the Art School
questionnaires that seem relevant to you (you do not have to answer all of them).
Here are some additional questions you may want to consider: Why did you
choose this major? What did you hope to get out of the experience? How is it
going so far? How would you evaluate the program you are in? What do you
hope to be doing in 5 years? In 10 years? How has this program helped to
prepare you to move in that direction?

Application Log: After you read a chapter describing a communication theory, you are required to make a specific application of the theory to your own life and experience. Write 1-2 paragraphs about it, and post this as a journal entry to the Blackboard. Think of this assignment as a way to find practical value of each theory. What framework does the theory provide to help you understand your or other people%u0432%u0402%u2122s communication practices? What prediction does it make for the future? How can you use this theory and the conceptual tools that it offers? Can it help you to improve or advance your personal life, your relationships, your professional or educational experience, your role in the local or global society? Make sure you post your journal entry before the class where we will be discussing the theory in question. All the late or missing entries will have an effect on your final grade.

Using two of our course texts, one from before and one after the midterm, produce an essay that explains how children’s literature can generate differing ideas about childhood.

To do this, you will need to select texts that differ from one another in their implications regarding what children are like, what they should read, and what children’s literature should do for them. Your paper should then include the following:

1. An overarching CLAIM that articulates and argues the distinct versions of childhood that are presented by each of your texts
2. Close reading and analysis that explains WHAT iterations you are focusing on, HOW they are constructed, and WHY this is important for understanding each narrative as a whole
3. A conclusion which discusses the importance of what you have analyzed in understanding each story, then broadening these implications to the larger functions and development of children’s literature, thinking especially about what it means that so many versions of what is appropriate for “children” exist
example of how the professor wants to claims and Evidence and Analysis from the two novels Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and The Giver

Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland understands the child as being problematically shaped by the education of her moment; in his portrayal of Alice Carroll suggests that the impressionability of children has subjected them to an educational system that is failing to produce knowledgeable adults. The Giver takes a similar approach to childhood, but rather than showing what is happening to children as a result of poor education, Lowry shows us a future in which educating children properly is the only hope for remedying a world of adults who have neglected the lessons that make them human. Both texts argue that children should be educated better, but Lowry’s young adult novel focuses on the future impact of failing to do so.
