On your discussion day: Prepare the abstract–the short summary and analysis of the assigned readings/videos (description here). No longer than a page needed–briefly summarize and tell what you got out of the assigned material. And include the sources you’ve used (hint: Ctrl A; Ctrl C; Ctrl V).

I will provide you with the questions the night before (there will be a link to them on this page), if you’re interested, but you will respond to the answers in your groups in class–one set of responses for each group. Bring your abstract to class (or email it to me in advance).
