Required Readings & Resources

Grant, A. (2021). Think again.

● Chapter 8: “Charged Conversations: Depolarizing Our Divide Discussions” ● Chapter 9: “Rewriting the Textbook: Teaching Students to Question

Knowledge” ● Chapter 10: “That’s Not the Way We’ve Always Done It: Building Cultures of

Learning at Work”

Part A:The acts of philosophizing and "thinking again" are best accomplished through discussion, conversation, and sometimes even debate. This is how ideas become fleshed out and conversations move forward. As such, students are expected to produce a robust, video discussion based on their engagement with course materials. The primary qualifier for all discussions is that they must have their foundation in either our philosophical or textbook readings for the week and connect directly to one or more key excerpts, ideas, passages, or concepts.

The prompt for this week's original post discussion revolves around the following question(s):

What would you say is the most significant concept or compelling idea presented in this week's course material? Why do you hold that position?

PartB;

Complicated concepts require careful consideration. Students will produce an Articulation Artifact showing their engagement with, and mastery of this week’s readings and resources. Such articulations can take the form of one of the following mediums, but note: Each format can only be used once during the course.300-500words essay

Part C:

The purpose of education and philosophy is not to provide answers to all of life’s questions but to help practitioners ask better questions. For this class specifically, Journal Reflections provide an opportunity to take our discussions, questions, and ponderings one step further by making them applicable to our life, work, and relationships.

After reflecting on the readings, resources, and other discussions, write a reflective journal entry on the following question(s):

● What is on your mind from this week’s material and discussion? ● What captured your attention or made you think? ● What ideas or concepts did you find helpful, compelling, or valuable? ● What ideas or concepts did you find less helpful? ● What ideas or concepts did you find immediately applicable to your life, work, or

relationships? How will you apply them?

The Reflection must be 300 - 450 words, in paragraph formatting, and using 7th ed APA guidelines: Times New Roman or Arial, 12-point font, double line spacing, a title page, in-text citations, and a reference page.
