Wednesday/Thursday we listened to some important information about evaluating and finding sources that we will be putting into play very soon. Keep a hold of your notes.
The Last Lecture. Now that you have finished Randy Pausch's memoir, we are going to have a small group discussion over the larger issues discussed in the book. I want you to notice that these questions are not specific, plot-based questions. They are written as one steps back from the book and identifies the larger thematic/motif issues. These are the issues are what make a text universal and applicable to a wide audience (IF WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO SEE THEM).
1. With each question, I want you as a group to discuss the question, itself, first. HOW does the question develop out of the book? What issue(s) is the question zeroing in on? How are these applicable issues to a wide-spread audience? It is truly an important skill to back away from the specific details (the what) to ask and see the how and the why.
2. After you have discussed the question, itself, your group can move on to the content of the question.
