Faith+Paper


 * media type="custom" key="4711111"

Due November 4 One page Min/Max Paper Goals: Develop voice, extend discussion, and plan more effectively.**


 * Due:** You will write a one page reaction paper on 'faith'. Faith is an interesting topic when studying Shakespeare's //Hamlet// and in order to prepare for our analysis papers, we will start with a topic that will truly exercise your personal voice.


 * In Class Activity:** We will take the topic of faith and try to ask as many questions as possible to extend the discussion as deep as possible. We want to avoid making summary statements, moving backwards to less deep ideas, and dead end questions. Then, we will move into our fishbowl discussion which will allow students to voice their personal position on specific topics that fall beneath the word 'faith'. After our discussion, students will have an opportunity to consider their own direction for this reaction paper and spend an entire (well organized) paper establishing their position.

For example: I. People only talk about faith when life hits challenges. A. Explain why I feel this way. 1. Examples and Explanation B. Explain what this fact says about humans. 1. Provide examples of selfishess C. Wrap up by predicting how we are never going to change.
 * Outline Instructions:** When outlining, I would rather see a half page outline written out as a guide, rather than a specific overview of every little topic you want to mention. I'd like to see your outlines focus more on what you PLAN to do in your one page papers, especially since so much of these papers is your reaction and your reaction may change.


 * Homework:** One page min/max paper and outline that develops an interesting paper fueled by voice and confidence. Do NOT include questions in your paper. Instead, imagine questions and make your paper about the possibilities and directions where that question could lead.
