Week 8: Collaboration Activity

Collaboration Activity: Applying Anthropology

This Forum is unique so read the instructions and point values carefully.  

Write a 250+ word initial post that includes these components:

• Create and share a 3-5 image collage illustrating: Option 1) How may anthropology be applied to address some problems of the modern world, or Option 2) How may anthropology be applied in your career field, or in your major? 
   5 points.
• Analyze and Reflect on the image collage you shared with classmates.  Explain how the images illustrate ways in which anthropology can be applied to address problems in the modern world, or how anthropology can be applied in your career field or in your major.  Be specific. 10 points.
• Engagement and Presence. 10 points.
  • Remember to write at least three 100+ peer responses.  As with our other Forums, two responses need to be to peer posts and one response needs to be to someone who commented on your post.  In any public scene, all of us will notice different things, and find different observations important or unimportant. In your peer responses, help identify similar examples, offer feedback on the images the classmate chose to highlight personalized connections to class, and/or offer other ideas your classmate may not have considered.
  • Learner posts 4+ different days in the learning week.  Initial post is made by Thursday 11:55pm ET of the learning week.  Response posts are made by Sunday 11:55pm ET of the learning week.
• Writing Skills. 5 points.
  • Post is 250+ words.  All posts reflect widely accepted academic writing protocols like using capital letters (“I am” not “i am”), cohesive sentences, and no texting language. Dialogue is also polite and respectful of different points of view.
