The reading for Feb. 18th is an academic article, and it’s a little more dense and jargony than usual. You don’t need to understand every detail! Come prepared with questions, areas that were confusing or difficult, and anything else you’d like to talk through.
To prepare for discussion, compile a Top 5. This should be a bulleted list of the top five ideas, topics, questions, or quotations you would like to discuss in class. Your list should demonstrate your engagement with the reading. The Top 5 assignment should help you engage with the reading and come to class prepared to share your ideas. A quality Top 5 will do more than summarize the text. It will provide you with a set of topics, questions, and quotations to discuss in class.
