Starting Assumptions
Please write a good solid paragraph where you comment on any
of the following topics, raise any questions that come to mind: what do you
know about this week's topic already? what interests you about this topic? what
more would you like to learn about it? When you are done, post your comments
in the "Starting Assumptions" section of this week's Blackboard
Discussion Board. Please make sure that you do this by
Tuesday midnight; it is up to you whether you want to do this before
or after the Background assignment (either way is fine).
Note: you do not have to answer all these questions; just
pick the ones that are the most relevant to what's on your mind.
Animals
and Animal Legends:
- do you have any pets?
- did you have a lot of stuffed animals when you were little? which animals
were your favorites?
- do you like to watch "nature" shows on television? do you go bird-watching?
do you like to visit zoos or aquariums?
- what kind of animal legends are you familiar with? are there some animals
stories that you have heard of where you are not sure if the story is true
or not? (for example: do you think opossums really "play possum"?)
- why do you think people are so interested in animals and in their strange
behaviors?
- at the bottom of the page you will find some images from
this week's unit; if any of these images make a big impression on you, you
can share your thoughts about the image and what it suggests to you (click
on the image to learn more about it!)
