[Assignment] Analyze the discussion about a controversial topic [Learning Objective] Learning objectives: Research skills, Media literacy [Description] 
Students will be at least superficially familiar with Wikipedia articles, but many may be unaware of the corresponding talk pages where contributors discuss problems and disagreements over how to change the articles. The talk pages for controversial topics can be particularly interesting windows into the construction and contestation of knowledge that is always going on across Wikipedia. Intellectual, political, ethnic, sociocultural, and other conflicts play out over and over on the talk pages of controversial or sensitive topics. This works as a stand-alone assignment, or a preliminary exercise before students begin improving Wikipedia content themselves.
