Discovery Learning - Oxymorons and Paradoxes

Today we are going to try a new type of learning, a style of learning that requires you take charge of what you accomplish in one forty minute lesson. We are going to try “Discovery Learning.”

Discovery Learning allows you to be in control of important concepts and skills that you learn in class.

Your goal today is to define, explain, and utilize oxymorons and paradoxes in your writing. You may use any tool or website that you find helpful.

In your post, include the following:

  1. A definition of BOTH terms
  2. An Example and Non-Example of each
  3. Write a short piece in which you use 1 oxymoron and 1 paradox
  4. Use complete sentences
