1. We have 7 remaining reading assignments. In lieu of these assigned readings, I am inclined to invite you to review the two course books and select 4 readings (any 4 readings) remaining in either book that will best support your interests and the development of your remaining BlogPosts and research.

2. This creates a pedagogical issue of how best to encourage discussion. This is what I propose:

•Everyone signs up to lead a 30 minute small group discussion based on:
◦1. a single reading and
◦2. your efforts to integrate your reading, timeline and direction of research
•Every discussion leader needs to bring a reading and/or handout and create a guided reading experience for their small group
•The small group discussion will culminate in a 10 minute class discussion that you lead.
•Goals will be to inform and engage the whole class and
•To get constructive feedback/input about the direction of your work.
•This format does NOT supplant regular writing circles.
