Signing up for Discussion Facilitation:

For this process, you are responsible for helping get conversation going, and for helping me respond to it and keep it focused.
To prepare, you will:

Email me. Write a BRIEF summary of the reading, identifying what you got out of it, and what questions you have. (You could also anticipate here questions or difficulties you think your classmates might have about the text.) Please note: if we are watching a video in class, or something you couldn't be expected to have easy access to, you aren't responsible for that bit.
Include in that email questions and/or resources you think we could use to encourage conversation and extend critical reflection on the text in question.
Your email should be received by me not later than 8 am the day before your “facilitation” date.

Your grade is NOT based on how well the class actually joins in, but on how well YOU, as individuals, prepare for the discussion, and on the professionalism and thoughtful preparation of your email to me.
The readings you will facilitate discussion of will be identified on the Homework/Class Plans page on the course website. If it should happen that you have a date that we wind up NOT having a reading (this might happen early in October, when I'm waiting to hear back about going to the Texas Women's Hall of Fame, on campus, and re. a visit from a library specialist, to help you do research) we'll double up and have more people covering the next reading. I'll make a note on the plans page if/when this occurs, and also email those affected.
If you choose to work as a group, that's fine. If you divvy things up: email me your "bits" independently, and let me know who you were working with, and who was responsible for what. If you work together, you can send one email, signed by both of you, BUT I will also expect a separate email from EACH of you, in which you tell me, honestly and privately, whether you think each of you pulled equal weight and worked together successfully, or not.

We will sign up for facilitation dates in class on August 30th. I'll post the schedule below shortly thereafter (as well as the rubric I will use to grade you on this task.)
