The goal for these readings and discussions is to look at how some of the best writers use words to shift how we see things both overtly and subtly. We will also look at what the goal of the piece is and if we think it was successful.
Expectations:
- Visual aid (powerpoint, prezi, handout)
- Background on the time/author/writing style
- Thoughtful questions for a good discussion
- Close reading/thoughtful consideration of the text
As an audience member, your job is to pay attention, and to participate in the discussion. Throughout the semester, you will need to collect 150 points.
Ways to collect points:
+ 5--say something relevant during the discussion
+ 5--if your comment includes a quote
