 * Oh, the Places You'll Go. Watch the Dr. Seuss video @http://youtu.be/IQRWeZy-S8Q, or read the book, []
 * 1) Design a visual representation of knowledge. Your image should show (convincingly) what the nature of knowledge is. Think about making your visual useful. This can be a 3D object, a work of art you created, a poem you wrote, etc.
 * 2) Once you have completed your image, create a metaphor for knowledge (see video below). Your metaphor should state (convincingly) what the nature of knowledge is. Think about making your metaphor useful.
 * 3) Prepare to connect this assignment to basic knowledge questions.
 * How do “believing in” and “believing that” differ? How does belief differ from knowledge?
 * What role does personal experience play in the formation of knowledge claims?
 * When a machine gives an instruction to press a certain button to make it work, where is that knowledge or awareness located? Does technology allow some knowledge to reside outside the human knower? Is knowledge even a thing that resides somewhere?
 * Are the following types of justification all equally reliable: intuition, perception, evidence, reasoning, memory, authority, group consensus, and divine revelation?
 * Do knowledge claims transcend different communities or cultures? What differences exist between public and private justifications? To what extent might this distinction between private and public knowledge be culturally dependent?
 * Does making a knowledge claim carry any particular obligation or responsibility for the knower?
