Last week we watched the video of a college student, Dan Brown attempting to explain his answer for the essential question of "what role does education play in modern society". I reminded you that essential questions have more than one "right" answer. Below is a response to Dan Brown's explanation. It was also created by a college student. I want you to read the response position and if needed re-watch the Dan Brown video. THEN answer the questions on the response to Dan Brown reading.
