9. Seriously....
• Do you BELIEVE the world is round?
• Do you KNOW the world is round?
• Do you UNDERSTAND the world is
round?
• Do you believe in atoms, DNA, evolution,
gravity, or global warming?
10. Could you win an
argument?
Your assignment:
Write an argument that will convince a flat-earther
that the world is round (spherical, actually).
Some guidelines:
• Work for no more than 30 minutes
• Avoid the internet and wikipedia (we all know
Stephen Colbert manipulates it)
• Email me your response (handwrite it as a last
resort)
• I’m not looking for perfection—just 30 minutes
of your focused effort. (~1 page or 250 words)
