Hi class,
Hope you are enjoying the start of your weekend. Just wanted to let you know what the presentation schedule is for the following weeks. I have tried my best to accommodate everyone’s preferences. Make note of when you are scheduled to present, please! As mentioned in the Assignment Description, if you’re using PowerPoint, please send me your slides by 5 pm the previous day, so that I can review them.

Good luck finishing your Research Revision drafts!

Hi class,
Hope you are well. For homework, please begin outlining the draft of your Research Revision. Feel free to use the resources we’ve introduced in this unit: the Library guide, the Assignment description, the article “From Problems to Sources,” your notes on how to formulate a research question, blog feedback, and the article on H.P. Lovecraft from today’s class: lovecraft research article
On Wednesday, please bring all materials related to your revision so far. We will discuss presentations as well as how to organize your sources. I’ll try to give you some time to actually work on your drafts/presentations as well.
Sincerely,
Professor Kwong
The essay I’ve chosen to revise is my lens essay on social media and the amount of time teens spend on social media. For this research essay instead of saying that teens need to cut down on the time spent on social media, I will choose a specific social media platform which will n=be Instagram and try to find out how Instagram affects teens in a negative way and make them more shallow minded. I also want to relate this to teens becoming “pancake people” when they spend too much time on Instagram. I’m also looking for what Instagram does to the self esteem and the mind of a teen when they log on to it.
