The Spring Break Happy Dance

Aim: How do we apply our close read of "Science of the Soul" to Jean-Dominique Bauby?

Quick Write: Reflect on what you learned in detail this week in at least one well-organized paragraph.

Step 1: By now you should have read this article about the “Science of the Soul.” Question: How do the ideas in the article apply to Bauby? Do they apply to Bauby?
Step 2: Synthesize all of this heavy thinking into a cartoon that gives a graphic reflection of your opinion on the human vs animal debate. You might also check out this site. Show your readers your opinion on what and how animals think as opposed to what and how people think. Be creative with your graphic story. (Don’t forget that writing conventions still count.) Post your cartoon to your blog using screen capture. (Shift, command, 4) Thanks, Tajmah!

Argument Essays are overdue!!!!!!

Last, but not least, have a joyful Spring Break!
