The class indulges the obsession this generation has with the self (I think one of the reasons iPod is so popular because it puts "I" before everythng else) by incorporating a lot of opinionated response. Concurrently, though, I will encourage students to question their own opinions and, hopefully, explore the concept of a true -- or a right -- opinion. I teach first year college students in Nebraska.

I'd love to hear about what you've planned with your students, and of course what the results are once you implement your program. Where and what do you teach? What age group do you teach? Looking forward to hearing more, Randi Hi DeEee,

Thanks for your response. I’d love to hear about what you’ve planned with your students, and of course what the results are once you implement your program.

Where and what do you teach? What age group do you teach?

Looking forward to hearing more,
Randi

In my rhetoric class this year, I'm trying to gear my students toward thinking about the programs they use daily (from the very involved like myspace and the very deceptive such as search engines) and how these tools can be used rhetorically and argumentatively. I had a lot of fun planning it and I can't wait to see how it'll all work out. I like that you give a heads-up to social networks and/in pedagogy.
