Twice during the quarter, each student will serve as respondent for the session. As discussion respondent, you are expected to provide a written response to the discussion leader’s question. This will take the form of a short blog post that provides a focused reaction to the discussion leader’s question. There are three elements of this response:
1) a short written reaction (2 page, 600 word) that responds specifically to the discussion leader’s question. Your response may involve some degree of summation of the larger class discussion, but this should be kept to a minimum. The point is to focus an articulation of your own coherent thought exercise with the discussion leader’s question.
2) pose 2-3 follow-up questions.
3) provide 3 annotated (in 2-3 sentences) links to news stories, reviews, art, advertisements, YouTube videos, etc. that are relevant and/or expressive of ideas and themes encountered not just in the readings but in the leader's discussion of the reading.
Discussion respondents should make your blog post within 42 hours after the class session you are assigned.
