In the second half of the course, everyone will take a turn – in groups of 2 or 3 – to introduce the reading or the work of the day.

Your goal is to help students understand the work of the day – and launch a strong discussion. You should:

• Introduce the reading/viewing of the day
  • Tell us a bit of background about the work and the authors (or filmmakers)
  • Share a short overview or summary of the story – adding reference to one or two key examples
• Provide a few open-ended questions for discussion
• Present this in an informal presentation in class – either with names and examples written on the board – or in a short powerpoint
• Aim for about 5-8 minutes total

For a model, take a look at Prof. Shaya’s introduction to Restrepo.
