Hi Everyone,<\/p>\n\n

Happy Friday! I hope this note finds you having had a great week\nand looking forward to a weekend ahead that will be full of a mix of fall fun\nand LRNT 523 paper idea generation, pondering and maybe even sketching out of a\ndetailed outline or rough draft \u00a0in between\nTurkey time ;) <\/p>\n\n

As we look forward to the last few weeks of LRNT 523 (can you\nbelieve it??!!) I wanted to pass along a few other resources that past students\nhave found useful in their writing.<\/p>\n\n

Detailed outline builder<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Assignment time calculator<\/a> \u2013 this one is good for at the front end\nof the assignment<\/p>\n\n

Creativity in academic writing<\/a><\/p>\n\n

I know you are working on your blog posts about your A3 ideas and I\ncan\u2019t wait to see how those evolve into your final submissions. I did want \u00a0to mention two things:<\/p>\n\n

1. It is okay if there is some overlap in topics. If you see\noverlaps, use that as an opportunity to deepen your thinking based on what\nothers are writing. Feel free to look up the references others are sharing or\nreach out to them to discuss.<\/p>\n\n

2. What this assignment does ask is to say something about the\nfuture (of course), but equally importantly is to say something about the\npresent. Our thoughts about the future are grounded on our present experiences,\nanxieties, hopes, and desires. In this way, when you're reading your peers'\nposts or thinking about the assignment, pause for a moment and think about what\nthe writing says about education at the present time. For instance, there might\nbe concerns of lack of affordability; marginalized spaces\/places\/people, generative\nAI, and climate change to name a few.<\/p>\n\n

The blog post activity acts as a formative way to start the final\nassignment. As such, it offers a scaffold towards the assignment and avoid\nextraneous work at this stage. This is also the reason why Unit 3 is predominantly\nstructured as a \"work\" unit, hopefully providing helpful breathing\/thinking\/writing\nspace for you to devote to Assignment 3.<\/p>\n\n

Happy writing and thanks again for all of your work and engagement\nin our course. Have a great week ahead and as always, if you have any questions\nplease don\u2019t hesitate to reach out.<\/p>\n\n

Ciao,<\/p>\n\n

Elizabeth<\/p>
