Postwar Emerging Issues in Literature Paper
Description:
Postwar Emerging Issues in Literature Paper

The postwar era was initially a placid one in which life, at least on the surface, seemed placid. By the end of the 1950s and into the 1960s, several undercurrents that were stirring in the previous decade began emerging into the mainstream discussions of America. These included race issues, the questioning of government, and emerging feminism.

Authors/Reading: Allen Ginsberg/”America” (and) Gwendolyn Brooks/”Lovers of the Poor”

Analyze how these authors incorporate social issues in their writing in a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper. Use specific examples from “America” and “Lovers of the Poor” to support your opinion. Cite all sources (Include a References page).

Hypothetical: Some of your learners are struggling with a concept in your class. You decide to use a “Google Hangout” study session and invite students who are struggling to attend for additional synchronous help. During the Hangout some of your students convey personal information about how and why they are struggling in class. Consider the ethical issues that might arise from the design of this synchronous study session.
For example, could you record and reuse the Hangout for another class?
Could you prevent students from recording and distributing the Hangout?
How would you design the synchronous study session to exemplify and ensure ethical usage of the technology?
