write 500 words or more (as you will be required in the final exam) and attempt to connect this reading “The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action” and “College Students: School is Not Your Job.” As with the previous discussion board, attempt to explore critically what this essay is saying but see how it might connect with the first essay. In your post, try to identify the author’s key ideas. Remember to distinguish ideas from examples and think about how examples illuminate and support those ideas. Don’t hesitate to think about any points made with which you might wish to engage, either to agree, disagree, or further investigate, and why. Most important, you should connect this essay to last week’s essay. How might they be in conversation with each other? In other words, how might this essay support, or maybe even contradict the previous essay. Use quotes to support your ideas.
As with the previous reading, do NOT refer to the internet or any outside sources. Rely only on the reading to help you figure what the author is saying and to support your response to the author’s arguments.
