I used the framework of popular culture to encourage their investment in their writing and arguments, as I found that my scholars often felt more “authorized” to make claims about universal tradition than about texts that they considered more “canonical. ” By focusing on widespread culture, I aimed to provide my scholars the self belief to make critical and rigorous arguments of their writing that they could later extend to other themes and disciplines. Since this direction essentially focused on important thinking knowledge and the technique of translating those emotions into writing, it is constructive to students across a wide variety of disciplnes. For their final papers, I had students write on everything from the type of Kafka’s The Trial to the way that Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth encouraged a completely real mode of environmental activism, and to the skewed attitude that sociological literature on media violence and children take toward parental supervision, as illustrated through a reading of the Power Rangers Movie. Ultimately, I found the direction to be extremely a hit, especially since my scholars started to embody the idea that re envisioning their writing is an important part of the vital thinking method and the idea that writing helps, as opposed to hinder, their concept.
