Navigating the World: A Sense of Wonder
Assignment: "Why I Travel"/ "Deep Travel"Reading, Annotation & Analysis
First: Read through these questions, then read and annotate both texts (article and interview).
Annotation: write/highlight on the article/paper itself
1. If the authors were sitting here, what would you ask them? (Clarify? Prove? Curious?) Write the questions in the margins. Ask at least three per author.
2. Find valuable claims (asserted statements), circle them, then underline the evidence supporting them. What does each author believe to be true, and what examples does each use to prove it?
3. Can you find a personal connection to a section of their views on traveling? Highlight it and write your thoughts in the margins. You can agree or disagree, apply to your life, or compare to another story. Make at least two connections per article.
Write: Type up a paper in MLA format (see text or Moodle for instructions), proofread and print.
1. In two strong (7-9 sentences) paragraphs, define each author's view on traveling. What benefits does each receive? What costs?
2. Create a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting the two. (Word, Insert, Smart Art should have one. Or, Draw might work. I know you'll figure it out.) In the middle, put what they have in common.
Last: staple all pages together with this sheet on the bottom.
