BEFORE YOU WATCH: Networks Frame Introduction
Use the “Three Close Reads” approach as you watch the video below (next in the lineup!). If you want to learn more about this strategy, click here.
First read: preview and skimming for gist
Before you watch, you should skim the transcript first. The skim should be very quick and give you the gist (general idea) of what the video is about. You should be looking at the title, thumbnails, pictures, and first few seconds of the video for the gist.
Second read: key ideas and understanding content
Now that you’ve skimmed the video transcript and taken a quick peek at the video, you should preview the questions you will be answering. These questions will help you get a better understanding of the concepts and arguments that are presented in the video. Keep in mind that when you watch the video, it is a good idea to write down any vocab you read or hear that is unfamiliar to you.
By the end of the second close read, you should be able to answer the following questions:
- The video begins with a philosophical statement common to the Zulu people of southern Africa. What idea does this statement express?
- What were the first human networks like, and why were they important?
- What transformations in networks have occurred in the period covered in this course, since about 1750?
- The video ends with several questions. What problems does it suggest people might have within the new sorts of networks?
Third read: evaluating and corroborating
Finally, here are some questions that will help you focus on why this video matters and how it connects to other content you’ve studied.
At the end of the third read, you should be able to respond to these questions:
- The networks frame and the communities frame overlap somewhat, but they are also different. How would you explain the difference between a network and a community?
- Think about the sorts of networks that affect your life. How large are they? In what kinds of networks do you have the most influence?
Now that you know what to look for, it’s time to watch! Remember to return to these questions once you’ve finished watching.
