As I stated in class, the group presentations will involve your discussion of the major points of the text(s) for the day, including relevant historical and biographical information. You are also expected to go over the ten Discussion Questions for the assigned reading(s). You may also use the other discussion questions from our class page for guidance, but you don't necessarily have to answer them all. I would also suggest you don't just answer the questions as the sole basis of your discussion. Instead, investigate and discuss the major themes, many of which are listed in the "Things to Consider" section of the discussion questions page. You can act out certain parts of the text if you'd like, especially if the number of group members and major characters are the same. Essentially, I would like for you to be as creative as you can at the same time that you facilitate the rest of the class in getting a better understanding of the readings.
