Each member of the group will select an outside scholarly or journalistic article that elaborates on the week's general topic. Please use Lexis-Nexis or ProQuest or another academic database as your source. It is your responsibility to show how your selection relates to that week's topic and readings.
Each member of the peer group will have about five minutes to relate one reading; there will be additional time to engage your classmates in discussion. Be as creative as you'd like to be when presenting your information.
You must create a Powerpoint
presentation and link it to your student website for the course.
Before class, you must post an abstract (including full and correct citation)
that links to your Powerpoint presentation and any outside source material (such as YouTube files) that you use in the presentation. You must also post a reflection on the experience to your blog
by 5 pm on Friday the week that your group is responsible for leading discussion. Tag both posts "Discussion Leader." You must create a link to these two blog post on your student website.
In addition, we will create a digital media resource by copying all
abstracts to a group blog.
