Science Education Across Media and From Legitimate to Fringe

Author
Greenberg, Josh
Description
A winner of the John S. Knight Assignment Sequence Prize, this sequence originates from Science and Technology Studies 109, Images of Science. With the goal of encouraging students to see science as a social construct, not as an objective reality, the sequence, using varying rhetorical situations and genre for its assignments, asks students to analyze the ways in which language is used in different contexts and in different forms. In so doing, students also come to think more critically about sentence-level and structural aspects of their own writing. 11 page pdf
