It's been a while since we finished the unit on Oreskes. I like to reflect on a project after I'm done, but lately there is no time to reflect on anything.
Still, right now I'm reading my students' reflections on writing this project, and I'm pleased. At some point I'm going actually have to read what they wrote in their essays, but honestly, I'm procrastinating on that.
From ASAS, music to a teacher's ears:
"I never realized that most authors use ethos, pathos, and logos. And I just realized that when I read Oreskes. I had never analyzed a chapter so profoundly. I think it's the first time I feel like I did understand most of what I read. This essay made me want to analyze everything I read so I have a better understanding of the reading."
From NP: "I saw the article as a learning experience for how to write any future pieces that I may write for science classes."
Also from NP: "[The article] was a breath of fresh air from the grammar and novel related English assignments that I have grown used to in my high school days. I like how it transcended subjects and went into science and taught us about how consensuses are formed and why some sources are less reliable than others. I would hope to get more assignments like this on in the future weather (sic) or not in this particular class."
Thanks, NP.
