demonstrate collaborative analysis using discussion post replies.

Students will demonstrate collaborative analysis using discussion post replies.

Connection to module objectives:

• Read and interpret book-length works from a range of academic, cultural, and disciplinary contexts.

Understand the relationship between meaning and language manipulation and between language and logic.

Evaluate cross-disciplinary arguments in terms of fairness, accuracy, and completeness.

Steps:

• Re-read your notes on Kincaid’s A Small Place, specifically the author’s section on “banality” (first chapter/section, pp. 14-19). In this section, Kincaid gives a somewhat searing indictment of what ails tourists–a sense of boredom, banality.
