1) In “Small Change: Why the Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted,” Malcolm Gladwell suggests two crucial differences between traditional and digital activism. What are these two differences? (1 paragraph)
2) Look closely at two examples from the text: one example should relate to the first difference and the second example should relate to the second difference. When you close-read these examples, you are required to quote from the article directly to contextualize, illustrate, and prove your claims. (2-3 paragraphs)
3) Finally, move outwards and tie the specific results of your analysis to the larger text (the article as a whole): what role do the passages have in the development of Gladwell’s larger argument? How does your close reading inflect or transform your understanding of the article’s major argument and its ending? (1 paragraph)
