There are THREE parts to complete this assignment successfully.
There are THREE parts to complete this assignment successfully. For Part I, each student will individually complete a 2-3 page review of one your assigned reading. Reviews should include 1) a summary of the article, 2) identification and description of the key elements of the analysis or findings of the reading, 3) an evaluation of the quality of the analysis, i.e., do you think consider about the issue? and 4) a discussion of whether or not you think this theory, topic, or its application would be helpful to you for your final paper/project. This paper should be uploaded to Canvas ONE WEEK BEFORE the class during which you will lead discussion. These reviews should help you write your questions.
For Part II, you and your partner(s) will provide discussion questions to guide students’ readings and to facilitate the discussion on the day your reading is due. These questions should help make sure students understand basic concepts used or introduced by the readings, get at the main point or contributions of the readings, and promote discuss beyond the reading, i.e., get students to agree, disagree, or apply these concepts to other examples. Using different forms of questions can help you to guide the discussion. For example, start with “define,” “explain,” and “summarize” questions. Then ask “compare and contrast,” “apply x example to y,” and “connect” questions. Finally, ask “challenge,” “evaluate,” and “what do you think?” type questions. Group members should collaborate and decide which questions will be used to guide discussion. Then these agreed upon questions should be e-mailed to me ONE WEEK PRIOR to the day your group will lead discussion. I will e-mail the questions to the rest of the class for you.
For Part III of this assignment, you will use your analysis of the article to lead class discussion of it. Although you should begin with a brief summary of the article, you should NOT just be telling the class what the article is about. Using examples from these and other readings and topics we have discussed in the class, your own lives, and/or other sources to SPUR DIALOGUE among the class. This is not just a lecture about your articles. Your discussion should resemble others that I have led. However, feel free to be creative in using other media and/or representations as examples and, of course, your own thoughts and ideas about the readings to keep the class engaged. I encourage each student to write some questions to guide our discussion. These questions should include 1) recall questions, 2) analysis and synthesis questions, and 3) evaluation questions. In other words, you should ask the class to: summarize or define what they read (recall); explain what is meant by particular concepts or how they understand the reading in connection to other course readings and/or concepts from class or personal experience (analysis and synthesis); and, discuss how good or bad the article is at explaining and/or applying concepts (evaluation). Your grade is based on your written review and facilitation of the discussion.
Your grade is based on your questions, written review, and facilitation of the discussion.
