Module Summary

In this module, you learned how to use an academic source as a "frame" by which to analyze a second text. This required organizational skills as well as skills in citation and "juggling" sources. You've explored the concept of storytelling as it pertains to fiction (myth), and as it pertains to the stories we tell in our own lives. Thinking through the individual and collective shadow through fiction should set you up nicely for our final research project: what is the purpose of creating "monsters" in our "non-fictional" lives?

Up Next

In the next module, we will be focusing on a similar theme, myth and reality, as we move into research and into the concept of "us and them." How do you know if a source is valid? Why do people deny valid sources and what can be done about false information? The big question: what is truth, and how does this pertain to the "other" in the real world?
