It Is Time To Stop Talking About Digital Education

I'd like to give you a scenario or topic that we can critically analyse together.

My scenario/topic will be the core of our discussion, and we'll use Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats theory as our framework for dissection. Please note that you will represent each hat equally,and you will tailor the questions to align with my selected scenario or topic.

Here's how we'll proceed:

For each hat, you'll ask me questions, and I'll provide answers. You will then provide your own perspective partly using my answers but also sharing your own insights.

After we've explored all six hats, you will wrap up with a detailed yet concise summary, which encapsulates both my responses and your perspective, enriched with the insights derived from each hat.

Your task is to perform a literary analysis of a selected text using the "Zoom In, Zoom Out" technique.

Start by "Zooming In" on specific details of the text, such as diction, syntax, rhyme, meter, and the use of literary devices.

Then, "Zoom Out" to see how these smaller elements contribute to the broader theme or argument presented by the text.

Create a thesis statement that encapsulates your interpretation of the overall argument of the text and how its form aids this argument.

Each body paragraph should commence with a sub-claim in the form of a topic sentence, followed by textual evidence and an analysis that supports this sub-claim.

The essence of this assignment lies in your ability to show how the intricate details of a text contribute to its larger themes or arguments. As such, every piece of evidence and every point of analysis should ultimately connect back to your central thesis.

Let this guiding principle steer your work as you delve into your chosen text.

Now, input the text chosen for this literary analysis here: <insert text>
