Reading Circles

Reading Circles.
This is a guide to your reading circles, handed out at the first session.As with your project work, you are free to design the process of this group work yourselves.

First Meeting
At the your first meeting you should,

Make sure that a blog for the group is established by February 1.
Make sure you take attendance on each meeting, and report it in the blog.
Set up a schedule specifying when you aim to meet.

You should also decide upon if you should read the whole book, or perhaps divide parts between the participants. Anyhow you should all be aware of the books full content by the end of these session.

All your decisions go into the blog, for instance your plans on when to meet up during the spring.

Group Work
You are free to design what you are doing during your scheduled sessions. At one point however you should, based upon what you find in your books, decide upon 5 things Useful for the rest of the students taking this course. Post your results in the bolg, and include them in your final presentations. One session may be dedicated for this, or it might be arranged as a continuous dicussion.

Do you find things that you find strange, or that you don`t fully understand in the texts? Bring it up for discussion, or perhaps keep a list of them all in a shared document.

Post a blog post concluding your work after each session, including the attending participants.

Presentation
There are some slots in the schedule for oral presentations which you may claim now already. In addition to the oral presentation, or partly replacing it, you may think of practical tasks to perform in class, or a workshop based on central ideas in the book. The more you do of these kinds of activities, the less the importance of your final oral presentation.

Oral presentations should be 45 minutes, or 2 x 45 minutes. What parts, and in which manner youpresent it will be assessed.

Throughout your Readings you should focus on the authors points (the theory) and how itmay be useful in your projects (the practice).

Good luck and have fun!

I’ll be happy to drop by and help you out in any way...
