The Split Self: Personal Identity On- and Off-line
HW: If you haven’t already presented, make sure your Essay 2 presentation is ready to go live on Wed.
Also: Read the sample student Essay 2 on pp. 25-32 of Packet 2. This essay didn’t receive an A; so what I want you to do is make notes on how this essay could be improved to receive a higher grade. Pay special attention to transitions: the connections between paragraphs. Also highlight any boring or repeating information that you think could be removed or rewritten.
Reading & Research: Finish reading Imp Kerr’s “Feasts Under the Bridge.” With your Essay 2 group, find one more article you will look for quotes on your Essay 2 word in. Arrive in class next week prepared to discuss quotes from this article.
HW: Finish reading Crawford’s “The Anxieties of Big Data.” Read Caraminica’s “Drake: Rapper, Actor, Meme.”
With your Essay 2 group: search for new articles on your Essay 2 word, make a list of them, decide on 1 of them to read. Read this article and arrive in class next week prepared to write about 2+ quotations from it that feature your Essay 2 word.
HW: Finish typing your midterm summary into your group’s Google Doc. Read “Youth Mode” by K-Hole as well as Michelle Nijhuis’ “The Pocket Guide to Bullshit Prevention” (both in Packet 2).
I agree with Duca because many of these listicles often use common experiences to define mental health issues. Listicles cover very basic identity traits that everyone has; everyone will be sad or down at one point or another, but that doesnt mean you’re depressed. This is a common issue amongst society: many of us believe we have mental health issues, but in fact we don’t. Many of us are using these listicles instead of going to professionals to diagnose whether or not we have a mental health issue. This doesn’t allow mental health issues to get the proper attention they need. Listicles are only promoting this issue by spreading false information to the public.
Hi everyone,

HW for Mon: Begin revising your Essay 1 and complete any missing blog posts. Read Dawn Lundry Martin’s “When a Person Goes Missing” (available online here).
1. Inverse outlining an essay to see connections within its many ideas. Re-read Adrian Chen’s “Don’t Be a Stranger” (pp. 61-66). Make a numbered list of notes describing the main idea in each of the essay’s 29 paragraphs. Each of your notes needn’t be longer than a phrase.
When finished, look over your list. What do you notice about the overall form of this essay? What is the main topic it seems to be about? Where and how is the main topic introduced? Where and how does the essay meander away from this main idea?
Post your list and a couple sentences responding to 1 or more of these questions.
2. Finish a rough draft of Essay 1 and bring in 2 hard copies of it next week. By Monday night, please turn in a digital copy of your draft as a Google Doc (instructions for how to do so are here).
