All students are expected to have read/watched/listened to the material, whether or not they are leading the class with a summary that day.

Additionally, each week, 3-4 students will come to class with questions for their classmates. This is the first thing that happens in class on Tuesdays.  All students will do this twice per semester. These should be short: 3-5 sentences. Each summary accounts for 5% of your final grade.

If you are looking for what weeks you are scheduled for, you can find this schedule here.

This is NOT a summary of everything that happened in one material or in all of the materials.

What it is:

1. Ask an open question for your classmates about what you read. You can be creative in writing your questions but if you need a place to start, here are some suggestions:
   • The author talked about ______. Do you agree or disagree and why?
   • This article related to (current event). What side do you think the author would take?
   • This article reminded me of my own experience (at work/with my family/at school). Did anyone else see a similarity to their own life?
2. Tell me a piece of information you learned (not a topic you learned about)
3. Tell me your favorite part AND your least favorite part

Options for Turning it in (choose one):

• During Class: Unmute and share
• During Class: Type into chat box
• Before Class: Post to our OpenLab on the Weekly Post

There is no late option for this assignment. You may only reschedule once.
