Analyzing Media Sources And Ethical Reasoning How To Detect Media

465 Words2 Pages

“Critical thinking is a desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to consider, carefulness to dispose and set into order” -Francis Bacon (1605) In other words, critical thinking is when you want to learn, you don’t immediately doubt everything you hear, you think deeply, and you back things up with evidence. In Mrs. Francia’s Critical Thinking class, students have written many papers in which they have had to support all of their facts with evidence. Also, her class has done research projects in which they had to decide what sites are credible, and which are unbelievable (or fake). This past quarter we have covered a lot of standards and done a lot of projects. One research project that Noelle’s class did this quarter was a Famous Failures project. Basically, they had to do research on someone that they could connect to that had overcome failure or tragedy. According to the syllabus, they covered “Analyzing Media Sources” and “Ethical Reasoning How to Detect Media Bias & Propaganda”. That means that they, like mentioned earlier, had to decide if a source was credible or biased. That is just one of the multiple projects that they worked on in class and at home. …show more content…

Francia’s class has done a couple of informative essays where they have had to support all of their facts with evidence. Once again, according to the syllabus, for these projects we used “Analyzing Media Sources”, “...Relevant & Irrelevant Information”, and “Ethical Reasoning How to Detect Media Bias & Propaganda”. For these essays, because they are formal, they have all had to have been in third person. If it is in third person, somehow it already seems more formal (like it was done by an older person) than first person does. Now that you know about essays and projects, there is something special to write

  • A Rhetorical Analysis Of Seattle Versus The Homeless

    1421 Words  | 6 Pages

    Before I would just throw in numbers and statements without setting the context and I would often end the paragraph without an acceptable amount of discussion. I also did not know how to state the evidence while giving credit where its due. In my current draft of “Seattle Versus the Homeless”, i use words such as “according to,” and “based off of,” and give credit where it is do. I still have a lot of room to grow in this topic, but I have certainly improved since the beginning of this quarter. In This in-class essay, we had to find a news topic that was interesting to us and write about it.

    My second project was the rhetorical analysis which weighted 45% of my grade. For my second project, I have to pick a reliable and unreliable source that relates to Kennedy’s assassination conspiracy theories. I have to make 3 separate papers for a reliable source, unreliable source, and comparison of two sources that would be presented in class. This project was a great learning experience because I get to learn and identify the differences between reliable and unreliable sources. From this project, I really struggled with finding the right unreliable source because it was harder to find on the search results.

    Allowing children to learn to think critically helps them to solve problems and have a logical argument about something they believe is true. Applying critical thinking into schools gives a child a chance to make a difference. Also, Elizabeth McKinstry agrees with Hummell in challenging the next generation to think for themselves. McKinstry writes about how Common Core education helps children become more interactive in the world and teaches them how to apply the knowledge they have learned in life. McKinstry said, "Their reality is not connected to a world outside the boundaries in which they live" (McKinstry 20).

    King has provided his opinion about education is building character. Dr. King uses his words to create an audience awareness to think for yourself isn’t the same as you may call it critical thinking. Against the common assumption that colleges should teach their students “critical reasoning,” Dr. King argues that critical thinking alone is insufficient and even dangerous. Teaching one to think critically is no small task. Most students learn by constructing knowledge based on an engaged learning process rather than by absorbing knowledge from passive sources.

  • Reflection On Martin Luther King Critical Thinking

    972 Words  | 4 Pages

    In my experience, what Martin Luther King Jr. calls “thinking intensively and critically” is very different from what my high school teachers called “critical thinking”, most especially by the way Dr. King links intelligence and learning to the development of character, that is, growth as a person. Too often in my past, teachers mentioned critical thinking only as a mental activity of seeing through stereotypes, evaluating both sides of issues and understanding and accepting differences. As worthwhile as these are, I have found that high level thinking without having a more enlightened character is simply inadequate. That was a recent, very positive experience with two very nice people of different faiths. As much as we had been taught in class about prejudice, the recent terrorists attacks across the world bred a good deal of ill-will in

Also, second person pronouns remarkably demonstrate the presence of informality in any given piece of academic writing. The second person pronouns create much of a conversation than the unintended academic writing (Biber et al. 32).this is ideally because it evokes interactional skills.
