See application exercises #1 pg 181:
FORM:
750 word essay (~ 3 typed pages);
Should contain an intro, body, and conclusion (organized like an essay).
THINGS I'LL BE LOOKING FOR:
Should reference threshold concepts by name AND demonstrate that you know what they mean;
Should reference pages in the textbook;
Should contain specific examples from your everyday life (like you did with the visit to the store);
Should offer concrete examples of potential actions that can be taken.
PROMPT:
Spend a day paying careful attention to gender dynamics in your own life - to interactions with friends, family, and coworkers; to your workplace culture, practices, or discourse; to your own use of language and ways of communicating. Framing your essay in terms of feminist praxis, reflect on how you see threshold concepts from your everyday experiences and how you might engage in "everyday activism"
HINT: you needn't talk about every threshold concept in this essay. You don't have enough space for that. You can be selective and talk about 1 or 2.
