Paper Guidelines top of page |
||
| 1. Brief biographical statement on your character
2. Describe your character's position in the debate over autonomy. This can be written either in the first of third person, and as an individual or collaborate group paper. It should include citations indicating the source of the information you present. 3. In class, we will run a simulation with the characters first dividing up in their appropriate groups discussing their thoughts of the autonomy law and then making a formal statement of what he/she support to the whole group. This simulation can last 1 1/2. For extra variety, have the group vote on accepting/rejecting this autonomy law and then make foreseen outcomes from the vote. The teacher should end the simulation by giving the real outcomes. |
