- Identify the primary theme of the selection;
- Post a Discussion Topic and each group member must respond to at least two (2) other students’ comments on that Discussion Topic.
- The presentation must be typed and handed in prior to the presentation.
- The instructor will review and assess the group’s presentation and respond to group members in writing.
- The entire group will be given a grade on the presentation; in addition, each student will be given a grade on their individual work.
- Each member of the class will need to respond to at least two (2) Discussion Topics online. This means that everyone will need to post a response to at least two Groups’ Discussion Topics. The postings will be graded according to the Online Discussion Rubric.
Ideas for Discussion Topics
- Provide more information about an issue that occurs during your chapters. You would need to explain why you are providing this information and ask a question about it. For example, you could find information about what the author is doing currently.
- Provide a weblink to get more information about something that occurs during your chapters. You would need to explain why you are providing this information and ask a question about it. For example, you could provide a link to a YouTube video featuring music discussed in the book.
- Provide a unique view about an issue/theme that occurs in your chapters. For example, you may know someone or be someone who has experienced something similar to what is discussed in the book.
- Ask a question about something that has occurred in your chapters and attempt to answer it. Invite other students to discuss the question also.
