The Dig Deeper assignments have five components, each worth 5 points.
Component One
Find an article or video related to one of the provided topics for the week.
Provide a link(s) to the material that you have uncovered that will help us all have access to reading (or watching or listening) for ourselves.
This link must be one that is available to the public and does not require a password, or a fee, to access.
Component Two
Give a seven to ten sentence recap of what the material covers.
Include what is important about the piece that you have chosen, and what it adds to our understanding of the topic that was not provided in the assigned readings.
Component Three
Talk about your interest in the subject: why did you choose it?
What did you know about the subject before digging deeper, and what new information did you gain from your exploration?
Was what you found consistent with your prior knowledge or did it in some way change your perspective of the subject?
This section should also be seven to ten sentences.
Component Four
Give a seven to ten sentence description of how we currently view this topic and what changes have happened in the decades since. Some examples:
If you choose a political policy, is it still in effect? Has it changed over time? How did it change the world, for better or for worse, for the people who were impacted during the era we are focusing on?
If you choose a diagnosis, has the criteria required to be diagnosed changed? Do we view the diagnosis in the same way that we did during the era we are discussing? Has the stigma of carrying the diagnosis changed, for better or worse?
If you choose a treatment or medication, would you consider it an acceptable course in treating the intended diagnosis? Does it seem archaic and inhumane? Have the methods we use currently for the diagnosis changed?
If you choose a cultural item, how is it still impacting the world that we live in today?
Component Five
Include a reference using APA formatting for the material you are sharing.
So, choose a topic that has been included in the material for the week, and get digging.
