Discussion 2.1
In the article “Learning How to Code-Switch: Humbling, but Necessary,” Eric Deggans describes his experiences with code switching. For your next discussion board, you should describe your own experiences switching between different audiences, cultures or social groups. How does your language and behavior change depending on the people you are around? Have you ever had an experience in which your failure to adapt to a new situation caused problems? Do you have difficultly maintaining your own identity when you are required to code switch?

Instructions
Beyoncé is both celebrated and scrutinized for her artistic talents and for the way she presents herself to the world. The article that I’ve linked to below demonstrates some of these diverse viewpoints. Take some time to read the article carefully. As you read, look for the author’s viewpoint, keeping in mind that he spends a great deal of time summarizing the viewpoints of others. In a way, the author, Noah Berlatsky, is writing a summary/response: first, he summarizes the viewpoints of Bill O’Reilly and bell hooks (who has intentionally changed her name so that the first letters are lowercase) and then he provides a response. Look for Berlatsky’s response.
Beyonce: Sex Terrorist
Follow this link to Berlatsky’s article.
Berlatsky, Noah. “Beyonce: Sex Terrorist: A Meance to Conservatives and Liberals Alike.” The Atlantic. 12 May 2014. http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/05/beyonce-sex-terrorist-a-menace-for-conservatives-and-liberals-alike/362085/. 30 January 2017.
Reflection
Take a moment to reflect upon the article you’ve just read. What is Berlatsky’s main argument? How does his argument compare to O’Reilly’s and hooks’s statements about Beyoncé? Do you agree or disagree with Berlatsky?

In your discussion board post, begin by describing the image you have chosen and explaining your initial reactions to the image. From there, provide your reader with an analysis of the image, using terms introduced earlier in this unit: composition, context, content, framing, lighting, angle, intertextuality, focus, etc. Be sure to begin your response by identifying which image you have chosen.

Discussion 5.1
You should have already chosen a topic for your final essay. Now, you need to explore the multiple viewpoints associated with that topic. Go to the discussion board and write a brief essay (300 words minimum) summarizing some of the multiple viewpoints associated with that topic (for and against, pro and con). At the end of your essay, present your own opinion on the topic in the form of a thesis statement or arguable claim. Refer to the previous video lesson on constructing an arguable thesis to help you.
As you respond to your peers (2 replies, 100 words each), try to fill in any gaps you see in their understanding of the pros and cons of the issue. In addition, evaluate the thesis statement. Does it make a limited and arguable claim about the topic or issue? If not, suggest ways to improve the thesis.
