Reading/Content Discussion

All right.

So just a zey another way to explain this.

Um, what we're gonna be doing with reading in content

discussions all semester is kind of a two part process.

So the first thing that you're going to be doing

is generating discussion prompts.

And so on this discussion board, if you look below

this little video, you're going to see a examples of

what discussion prompts are really about.

But essentially, you know what they are right.

They are questions or a series of questions that you

create. Thio, help us talk about the assigned content and

materials. And so for each of these reading content discussions

throughout the semester, what you'll be required to do is

generate 3 to 5 questions per piece that is assigned.

So if on a week that you have three pieces

that are assigned, for example, you would be creating nine

total prompts for us to engage with and for your

classmates to choose from.

And so that's part One of the assignment is to

read the content or watch the content or listen to

the content and then generate.

You know what you thought was interesting and ask some

questions right it's about getting each other to really make

some discussion around these topics that we're talking about.

And so in other classes, you know, the teachers might

provide all those prompts.

But I find that this is a really big part

of learning is when you get to ask each other

kinds of questions, right?

And so that's the first task right is going to

be generating.

The discussion prompts for each piece of the content that

is assigned, and the second part, then, is to respond.

You go through your groups discussion posts and respond toe

one prompt per content piece.

So that means you don't have to answer every single

prompt that was created.

Thank God.

Um, but what you will have to do is respond

Thio each pick up question about each content piece that

was assigned.

So if we stay on the example of a week

where three pieces are assigned, what you're going to do

is take one question per peace, right?

So that would be a total of you responding to

three prompts each one of the prompts that were assigned

or or content pieces that were assigned.

Okay, so again, it's a two part process, right?

The first generating the prompts, putting those on your group

discussion board that has been assigned to you.

And the second is going through and responding to some

of your classmates and starting that conversation that way.

All right, please do email if you have any questions.

And also as a reminder below this video are going

to be some, um, examples and what we're really looking

for with these discussion prompts and what we're not looking

for with them a swell.
