Taking Charge of Assignments and Rants

The take-charge assignment seems interesting and very easy to understand. What’s not easy to understand is quantitative chemistry. I have no idea what is going on in that class, but don’t worry because this actually has something to do with English. Most of the kids in English class are chemical engineers so they also have to take quantitative chemistry. So basically if you are reading one of the blogs and think it makes no sense whatsoever, it might be because quantitative chemistry has turned our brains to mush, which brings me to my next topic: media.
I have never been in an English class where we have not read at least one novel in the first three weeks, much less an English class where we get to pick the topic we study. Given the choice, I think I would rather have someone else decide what I learn just because it would be less work for me, but because we do have the choice I think I might want to do something about global warming. We could take conflicting arguments and tear their structure apart, and then we can decided which argument is valid and which one is not finally ending the debate on global warming. Perhaps after we finish with global warming, we could move on to other topics such as the Middle East conflict and finally create peace through our validation of arguments. By the end of the discussion we could be Noble Peace Prize winners. That may be setting our sights too high for a semester English class, but we can at least closely examine the arguments behind global warming and continue from there.
