Student-Led Discussion Sign-Up Sheet
At the beginning of each class, a pair of students will give a 10-minute critical introduction to their choice of the day’s reading material. Everyone will get to lead discussion twice, with the same partner or a different one. These presentations should layout your idea or argument about the text that engage your friends in close-reading and critical thinking of the chosen piece. Prepare also some questions on interesting points for further conversation and allow some time for class discussion.

Student Project Preview Sign-Up Sheet
For the latter half of the course, pairs of students working on their final project will have the chance to give friends a preview of what they are attempting to do and to get feedback for improvement. At the beginning of each class, each pair of students will have 10 minutes for presenting their ongoing work and for classmates to ask questions and give comments. Your presentation should include an explanation of the problem you are attempting to tackle and layout your idea or argument about the text that engage your friends in close-reading and critical thinking of the chosen piece.
