Topic: Definitions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Do for class:<\/strong><\/p>\n

So with that quote in mind, here is what you need to do for class on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

1) Definitional<\/p>\n

–use your best google or research skills<\/p>\n

–do some searching about what the terms \u201ccomposition\u201d and \u201ctheory\u201d mean<\/p>\n

–settle on what you think these terms mean separately as each term relates to your academic career (so a definition of composition and one of theory)<\/p>\n

–write your own extended definition (look this up if you don\u2019t know what it means) of \u201ccomposition theory\u201d (here you are expected to craft a definition of the compound term as an entity)<\/p>\n

2) Reflective<\/p>\n

briefly describe your process of how you went about searching and deciding on your separate definitions of the terms<\/p>\n

3) Critical<\/p>\n

In less than 100 words, answer this question: \u201cwhy do you think I had you do this definitional exercise?\u201d<\/p>\n

So when I say to do a task, I really mean you need to do them so that we have some material to work with in our discussions. But as Moten says<\/a>\u00a0the way we do things should be different. So I honestly do not care how long they are (and like #3 where I gave a limit of some sort there is a reason that we will likely discuss). I do not care if you write in bullets, on your computer, on the back of napkin, in morse code, in a language other than standard English, in visuals or flow charts. You are also grown people and you can choose not to write at all. But I sure as hell expect that you will be prepared to discuss these three tasks in a meaningful way in class cause otherwise you\u2019re not \u201creally getting together with people\u201d are you?!<\/p>\n

In class:<\/strong><\/p>\n
