Humanities Homework Help

Hi all,

This discussion is based on the Aamer Rahman’s video: “Fear of a Brown Planet.” Follow the Q-R-Q format. Use a quotation from the transcript of the video. Feel free to connect your ideas to the texts and Ted Talk from last week.

Module Reading/Viewing Discussions: Learning and understanding occur in both solitary study and in a social context through which we formulate understanding by reflecting on our own thoughts and experiences in combination with the ideas and experiences of others. I expect you to thoroughly read and analyze all assigned readings. As a group, you will discuss and analyze essential themes in the instructional materials offered to you and their relationship to the course. Discussions will be in the form of a Quotation – Response – Question (Q-R-Q) format wherein —

• The student begins a Discussion post by selecting a portion from the instructional material assigned — any section of information that the student found particularly interesting. The Quotation should be an exact copy and punctuated correctly using quotation marks. The quoted material should be referenced. For example – the textbook’s page number,  or a presentation’s slide number, or a video’s minute:second mark, etc.
• Following the quoted material, the student develops a Response to the quotation.  The Response can criticize, question, support the concept inherent in the quotation; it should include the possible implications on the practice of teaching. This means that the student responds analytically — avoiding mere summary or paraphrase of the quotation.
• The discussion post is concluded by asking a Question that emerges from the quoted material and the analytical response, which provokes further thought, and therefore, generates further discussion.
