First Writing Assignment
SUBMIT: Please email your project to justin@oursanctuary.org
REQUIRED: 2-PAGE (MIN). Your writing assignment is not a finished paper, but just a first study for a philosophy paper. There are 3 necessary parts.
1. Relevancy probe: I want you to reflect on some occasion when some idea from this class became relevant in your ordinary life. What was that connection? Search your mind/heart for one of the ways that ideas we discussed in class seemed to be relevant to something you were experiencing or deciding or facing in your everyday, non-academic life. Write about this.
2. Key Question: The second element is this: What’s your question? We’ve tackled a number of different questions so far. I want you to review everything we’ve covered so far, and to locate your curiosity. What is it that you most want to understand, to know, to grasp? Try to formulate your question as sharply as possible.
3. Textual support: Identify a text from class that relates to your question. It could be simply a statement - a sentence or assertion - from one of the readings, or a whole paragraph, that addresses your question in an interesting way.
