Presentation Requirements (in any order as material or insight directs):

1. Take over computer & projector; locate and describe materials.

2. Overview website(s).

3. Preview connections to course and readings.

4. "Tour" highlights of web site or text (5-10 minutes)

5. Pause to ask for questions, comments, or requests to back up.

Permission: Your comments aren't limited to what instructor makes available or expects to be covered.

Leading student discussions with Web Reviews:

• Discussions may be less straightforward than the reading & poetry presentations.

• Your questions may be less definite and critical.

• Instead, consider asking questions or pausing for comments as you proceed and especially at the end.

• Questions can be broad and indefinite, e.g.,

  • "Does anyone else know more about this?";

  • "Should I back up and spend more time on something we passed?";

  • "I've tried applying this to our texts today--any ideas?"

• Instructor will often support and provide context or applications.
