2. your comparison of the passage to your prior learning or experience 3. the ramifications of the author’s idea in the passage (‘then what?’) 4. the implications of the author’s idea in the passage (‘so what?’) Additionally, there will also be in-class discussion notes on the ideas/questions that students generate (and I may add) as we work through the text. Although it seems obvious, it bears repeating that it is my expectation that each student:
With this in mind, it is important for students to do their own work and to refrain from using online or other resources [for example-no Google Doc collaborations!] to do the analysis in lieu of student thought. In all facets of this process, students are expected to be able to demonstrate evidence of their own thinking and the steps they’ve taken in this process.
