Call and Response—Taking a Stand
Mother Tongue

Reflect: Using the SQ3R reading method, consider how the author(s) you read are writing about communication/speaking out, and how they view and interact with the idea of communication/speaking out. Also think about how those points of view compare to your own perceptions of what you see as communicating/speaking out.

Write: Upon reflection, select ONE of the above essays on place and write at least three paragraphs (200-300 words for each paragraph) where you accomplish the following:

Summarize what you read and explain what parts of the SQ3R process helped you.
Make connections between what you read about communicating/speaking out and other knowledge/experience/observations you have had about communicating/speaking out.
Articulate any questions/curiosities/predictions/challenges you have based on the reading and use examples from the essay to explain those.

Incorporate a quote and/or paraphrase where appropriate with proper APA citation.

Your initial post must be at least 600 words in length and posted by Day 3. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite any references as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center’s Citing Within Your Paper (Links to an external site.).

Respond to Peers: Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7. In each response,

State what have you learned as a result of reading about your peer’s experience, as well as how it was similar to or different from your own experience.

Address your classmate’s questions/curiosities/predictions/challenges that they faced.

Response posts must be at least 200 words in length. If you have questions about how to participate in discussions, consult “About Discussions” under the Course Home menu.

Question 2:

Prepare: Prior to beginning work on this discussion,

View the following web pages: Citing Within Your Paper (Links to an external site.), Grammar & Punctuation (Links to an external site.), Introduction to APA (Links to an external site.), Quoting, Paraphrasing, & Summarizing (Links to an external site.), and Writing a Discussion Board Post (Links to an external site.) from the Ashford Writing Center.
Review the public literacy essays we’ve covered in previous weeks and pick one that is particularly interesting to you. It does not have to be the same one you used in your final essay.
View the A Digital Library (Links to an external site.), Keywords are Critical (Links to an external site.), and How to Use FindIt@AU (Links to an external site.) tutorials from the Ashford University Library.

Go to the Library and search for an essay that either advances the topic in the essay that was interesting to you or provides another point of view that is different from the original author’s.

Reflect: Using the critical reading methods, consider the main differences between the source you find and the text we read in class. How is the perspective different? How might the audience be different? How much time has passed and what events have happened between the two writings?

Write: Upon reflection, write at least three paragraphs (200-300 words for each paragraph) where you accomplish the following:

Summarize the library essay you chose from the class and the essay you found in your library search.
Make connections between the two pieces, explaining how you see the essay from your search communicating with the essay we read in class.
Articulate any questions/curiosities/predictions/challenges you have based on the reading, and use examples from the essay to explain those.

Incorporate a quote and/or paraphrase where appropriate with proper APA citation, including full citations at the end of your post.

Your initial post must be at least 600 words in length and posted by Day 3.
