Each student in the class will lead a 25-minute discussion of one of the plays we are reading this
\nsemester. Your job is to pick one scene in the play and lead a discussion on that scene, with the
\nsupport of a peer-reviewed secondary source chosen in consultation with the professor. You
\nshould begin your discussion by summarizing the argument of the article as well as your
\nresponse to it for the class. Then, you will lead a discussion of its application to the play,
\nfocusing on a scene of your choosing (but hopefully going beyond what we\u2019ve already discussed
\nas a class). You should plan to devote five or six minutes discussing the article and you should
\nplan to spend five or six minutes reading lines from the play. Then, you will have fifteen minutes
\nof discussion where your expectation is to get maximum participation from the class. (I will not
\nbe participating, only observing.)
\nYou can design your lesson plan in any way you see fit (lecture, discussion questions, activity,
\nKahoot, Padlet, some combination of the above, etc.), as long as it presents the argument of the
\narticle and enriches our understanding of the play. You need to meet with me at least two days
\nahead of your discussion to go over your plan and you will need to turn in an outline of your plan
\nthe night before.
\nYour discussion should build on the subject of your Topic Proposal. Consider this an opportunity
\nto begin working on your seminar paper. I would suggest that you think of this as an opportunity
\nto \u201croad test\u201d a few ideas. Therefore, I\u2019d think about framing your discussion of the play in terms
\nof a research question that you will later pursue in your seminar paper.
\nSome Guidelines:
\n\u2022 Make sure you know the play inside and out so you can lead an effective discussion and
\nmake connections based on your classmate\u2019s responses. This means that you need to
\nfinish reading the play before you meet with me to discuss it.
\n\u2022 Come up with lines to discuss, including good moments for close reading as well as \u201cbig
\npicture\u201d problems. We might not get to all of them, but it\u2019s always a good idea to have a
\nback-up plan.
\n\u2022 Consider your goals for this discussion \u2013 what new understanding do you want the class
\nto come away with?
\n\u2022 Come up with a plan for your time: Lecture? Open discussion? Group or class activitiy?
\nAudio\/visual elements? It\u2019s completely up to you, but you must 1) communicate the
\nspecific and unique argument of a secondary source, 2) respond to that argument, and 3)
\nsolicit responses to the article\u2019s argument and to the play from your classmates.
\n\u2022 Try using a warm-up activity (such as a writing exercise or discussion prompt) will get
\nintellectual juices flowing.
\n\u2022 Try to focus on open inquiry and critical inquiry. Your questions resist easy answers.
\nThey should be open-ended with no obvious solution.
\n\u2022 Don\u2019t be afraid to call on people. Try to get everyone involved.
\n\u2022 Don\u2019t be afraid of silences either. Allow everyone to think and reflect before speaking.
\n\u2022 When in doubt, get us to think about passages you found difficult to comprehend in both
\nthe play and in your chosen article.
\n\u2022 When in doubt, come back to the literariness of the language: why these words, why
\nthese metaphors, why this imagery, why this language?
\nDirections:
\nYou must meet with me at least 48 hours ahead of your scheduled discussion to discuss your
\nplan. Then, you must submit an outline (at least 1 page single-spaced) of your lesson plan to the
\ndropbox on eClass by 11:59PM the night before your discussion. When class starts, I\u2019ll turn it
\nover to you and will do my very best to remain quiet until 25 minutes are up. We will pick up
\nany loose threads and continue the discussion on Friday Zoom classes.
\nRubric
\nYour discussion will be graded on a scale of 0-10. To achieve a full score, you must:
\n1. Effectively summarize and respond to the argument found in an academic article or book
\nabout your play
\n2. Demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of the play with excellent attention to specific
\nscenes and language of interest that would be good for class discussion
\n3. Engage your classmates in a dynamic and invigorating 25-minute discussion that enriches
\nour understanding of the play
\n4. Communicate clearly, coherently, and professionally using lecture, slides, activities,
\ngames, handouts, or other materials of your choosing<\/p>\n
