For our Unit 3 Project, we have chosen to address the issue of the creation of a new Living Learning Center for LGBTQ (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning students and their supporters) and the impact it would have on our community. We will be discussing whether or not this additional housing is in the best interest of all students and our community as a whole. We will talk about new concerns it has generated such as advocating separatism and segregation as well as the discrimination and prejudice it has created towards the homosexual community. We will do this through visual mediums with minimal captions such as political cartoons and video commercials. We will also use written texts like petitions, conversations, newspaper articles, headlines, and flyers along with explanations of our intended audience and context.
Our main concerns revolved around the possibility of offending others with out in one way or another based on the arguments we create. We also are concerned about our schedules matching to one another with regards to meeting outside of class to generate arguments.

Are you talking about the new housing on the TCU campus for them? Yeah if so I don't really think it should be acceptable but i'm not the one in control. I really like this topic because there are two sides to it and you could pick either one.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!
Which side of the argument will your group be taking? There has been a lot of stuff about this in local news and the Skiff. Sounds like you should have a lot to look at about both sides of the controversy. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteGreat topic selection for your group. I didn't even know about this until a few weeks ago, but I think there are a plethora of ways to make your arguments. I think that y'all will be fine with the scheduling stuff as long as y'all assign everybody a task to accomplish by the next class period. Good luck and I am looking forward to y'alls presentation.
