Hi
Interestingly, we can see application activities in everyone else discipline…but not our own :-0
There is a whole TBL book on TBL for the Humanities and Social Sciences
Questions where there is no clear answer actually makes things better…..then we can talk about different perspectives, the effect of context, what make a particular choice right in
this situation…when viewed from this perspective
I don’t have examples to share….but I saw a RAP question in a literature course that might help…..the teacher
had students read 4 different preparatory article…then asked which article
best supported this assertion….then which of these
specific passage best captures the essential ideas of argument X
It can be helpful to think about the shape of a 4S task
My website has more ideas http://learntbl.ca/4s/
