After submitting your “presentation” on your artist, your work continues! In a departure from previous unit assignments, this assignment REQUIRES responding to your classmates’ blog posts as part of the grade! Specifically, you must post TWICE, to two different classmates’ submissions: in ONE of your responses, offer how your own research and stance supports that student’s argument; in your SECOND response, play the devil’s advocate and argue the opposite position, based on your research.
This Discussion Board Research Topic will be worth up to one hundred (100) points, and will be graded based on the following criteria:
- following all the steps and completing the assignment fully
- how you present an understanding of the Parthenon sculpted imagery as being representative of ancient Athenians, based on what you learned this Unit from the textbook reading and Unit Lesson file
- the depth of your research and understanding of the arguments made in regards to the Elgin Marbles
- the clarity and persuasiveness of your written argument
- your use of proper spelling, grammar, and tone appropriate for college-level writing
Furthermore, your grade will be calculated as follows:
- Your written presentation on the Elgin Marbles debate = 60 points
- Your first comment on a classmates’ submission in support of their stance = 20 points
- Your second comment on a classmates’ submission opposing their stance = 20 points
