Presentation Discussions: Discussion is one of the most important components of this class. In this assignment students will introduce the class discussion by opening with no less than a fifteen-minute presentation. Please submit your discussion presentations here. Make sure your discussion introduction presentation includes the following two parts.
PART 1—Theme + Pivot Point + Provocation: For each assigned chapters—In your own words,
THEME: What are some of the central themes in the chapter. Do not summarize the reading—select specific major themes.
Argument: What arguments (claims/premises or in short claim, evidence and conclusion) are being made around these themes?
PIVOT POINT: Identify one of the pivot points concerning History in the chapter—what is a point at which a major issue (problem or question under consideration) turns? Note the page number and explain the issue briefly (2-3 sentences).
PROVOCATION: Note a statement(s) in the text with a page number that was thought provoking for you as a student of History. Explain why this statement(s) was thought provoking as a student of History.
PART 2—Discussion Questions: Based on the whole reading selection (no matter how many chapters), prepare three implication/application questions for use in class. At least two questions should be from the reading, not about the reading. Frame the questions in an “If…, then…?” format OR other format that helps open us to specific “So what?” ways of thinking (e.g., “What are some ways we can make sense of…?”).
