Productive Discourse - Modern Day Persuasion (2022): Exploration of Potential Topics

Topic Exploration - Today's Goals and Purpose

• Browse the resources and begin taking note of issues and current events that pique your interest. While you may not have time to read full chapters or articles, enjoy investigating a variety of publications and begin asking curiosity questions. 
• You will spend about one-third of the class period at each station. 
• Explore potential topics, ask questions, and get a sense of the resources. 
• Purpose: Use the time to dip your toes into a variety of issues and learn enough information to make an educated choice when selecting a topic for this project. If you remain open to the exploration process, we hope you encounter a topic that truly engages your curiosity. 

Learning Targets 

• Today I will browse a variety of resources, ask questions, learn a bit about the debates, get a sense of the resources
• So that I can pique my curiosity and learn enough information to make an educated choice when selecting a topic.
• I'll know I'm successful when I select a debatable topic that makes me want to learn and research more (NOT something I’ve already researched).
