​III. Small Group Discussions

1. Everyone needs to share their writing today in their small groups as you did in the last class. The class is too large to have full class discussions and hear EVERY voice so we will use small groups.  Please choose your group facilitator before you start.  This needs to be someone who did NOT facilitate last time.
2. Read aloud your favorite part of what you wrote.
3. Go around the group until everyone has read.
4. As a group, discuss: 1) What are 2-3 original examples/ data/ arguments that your author makes that the class should hear.
5. The facilitator should write (or email/ use your phone if you like) a note to Carmen listing all group members and brief notes to #4 above.  The facilitator should also plan to present for the whole group.

IV. Open Class Discussion & Sharings
Please hold your comments until the end when every group has shared.
