Imagine that you are with Fareed Zakaria. Dr. Zakaria has been called to the White House for a meeting with President Obama. You go with him.
They sit down in the Oval Office and begin to discuss STEM Education versus Liberal Education.
What would they say to each other? What questions would they ask? How would they respond to each other?
Write an imaginary “transcript” of the conversation.
Refer to the materials on our Moodle page for ideas and inspiration. There is a video, an article, and a screenshot of our blackboard notes.
The Dialogue:
Read the Prompt, and draft a document in response to it. I am including more resources for you to use in writing this assignment. You should read/watch these resources before you write the assignment.
