Hello Everyone -
Check out the week’s schedule below. Mukti’s seminar has a one-time schedule change – Tuesday seminar will meet from 1:30-3:30 with peer study groups meeting after that. Terry and Cynthia’s group – regular schedule.
This quarter, Tuesday’s seminar tickets will be basically the same – a one-page paper intended to help you focus your understanding and responses to the seminar texts. It should have three components: i) a statement of the author’s thesis, ii) your response to the reading(s) (such as what surprised you, what you think we should discuss in seminar, what you had difficulty accepting), iii) three REAL questions for seminar discussion which are tied to the reading(s). To be productive, these questions should defy yes/no answers and should require more of your classmates than simple opinion. Be sure to cite authors and page numbers be specific about which parts of the text are motivating your questions.
NB: This quarter we are asking for TWO copies of your seminar tickets on TUESDAY ONLY. We will keep one copy to use as we compile study questions (from your own questions) for the in-class, integrative writing assignments.
AND – in your peer groups this week, you will each be asked to share a dream and work together to help each other write your first integrative page – connecting dream reality to what is happening in the program and your daily life. You will also talk about your individual projects. More on this in class Tuesday, but bring your dream journals.
