Project 1

Selecting Articles

English 110

3 Resources
100-200 word summary each

We havent read much in our Mind, Body, Spirit textbook; these articles all deal with
topics/controversies that revolve around those three issues. For this project, you will need
to familiarize yourself with some of these topics. Look at titles in the table of contents, look
at the pillars on the MSU website, etc. You want to get an idea of some of the kinds of topics
discussed.

Second, you will locate three resources that are available to you either at MSU or in
Springfield, MO that will help your Mind, Body, or Spirit while you attend college. Think
creatively and critically. These can be anything from the Buddhist temple in Springfield to
the counseling services or to the community outreach services.

Next, you will need to then write a summary of each resource (100-200 words) and a
rationale of why they could be included in the Mind, Body, Spirit book. Most of these
resources have web pages with information; it is your job to give us a brief (but complete)
summary of this information. Make sure to contextualize the topic by stating why it is
important and how it ties into MBS.

Finally, we will be workshopping this project and after you edit and revise your project,
you will be presenting at least one of these resources to the class. Make sure to find good
resources for your peers!
