Discussion Leader

Each student will present an article from the book Art of Fact or handouts.  The presentation will be about 15 minutes long and will require a visual aid (power point or handout).  The presentation will be half lecture/close reading on what you discovered about the writing style and the other half will require the student to lead a class wide discussion.

Expectations:

• Visual aid (powerpoint, prezi, handout)
• Background on the time/author/writing style
• Thoughtful questions for a good discussion
• Close reading/thoughtful consideration of the text 

As an audience member, your job is to pay attention, and to participate in the discussion.  Throughout the semester, you will need to collect 150 points.

Ways to collect points:
      + 5--say something relevant during the discussion
      + 5--if your comment includes a quote
      + 5--have your book (not phone or computer) open during the discussion

There will be random pop quizzes to ensure that the reading is getting done...
