Reading groups for tomorrow, Thursday May 25th.

Here are your reading groups. Because we are somewhat rushed, I will set aside 45 minutes for you all to work together in groups, in class, to prepare your presentations. Obviously. you need to read your assigned article, in full, prior to tomorrow's class, so that you can get to work on constructing your presentation as soon as class begins.

Just a reminder, regarding how presentations will work:

Each group will have 10 minutes to present; then, following the presentation, a given group will remain standing for n additional 5 minutes in order to answer questions about the reading covered. I would prefer that each member participate, but will not negatively sanction people who are naturally taciturn, (though I do hope that this exercise will help us all come out of our shells).

Pointers on presentations:

• Make sure you capture and illuminate the thesis, or primary argument of your assigned text; you want to ensure that your classmates, at the very least, understand what the main point of a given text is.
• Feel free to take a position, i.e., you disagree or agree with a given writers thesis. Just make sure that prior to doing this you accurately and cogently delineate said writers main point.
• Offer an insightful summary: son't simply tell us what was written; instead, attempt to draw parallels with your own, subjective, experiences, course themes or other course readings.
