Here
are the discussion leaders (groups of three) for the next five weeks. You'll
all want to collaborate on notes and questions by and / or in person. If possible,
let's meet in my office after class at least the class before your group will
lead class. We can then talk about the materials you'll be teaching adn I can
make some preliminary suggestions. You can contact me anytime to meet in person
or by email or by phone to talk about the readings and / or film you'll be leading
the dicussion of. (I've copied everyone's name and email below.) Please get
me your notes at least 24 hours before class so I can comment and make suggestions.
I will of course still be participating in class discussion as well.
You might also want to do some research on the readings or films you're leading
dicussion of--it's not necessary, but it would help with the annotated biblio
assignment.
Remember that you will lead (as in guide) discussion, not do a report or lecture. You can assume that the class has done the reading or seen the film (so there's no need to summarize the reading or film). You can both pose questions and solicit them but in a way that makes use and develops some crucial issues (rather than a townhall format where questions are posed randomly). The discussion leaders are not supposed to (have to) do all the talking. Also, remember that in preparing discussion you end up taking lots of notes and that you will have far more material to dicuss than we will actually cover in class. Teaching is like writing in this respect; you (should) always have more notes, more text than you end up keeping for your final draft.
One
other note: make sure that everyone in the group participates. You may want
to divide up some of the issues (dealing with a film, one person could cover
issues of structure, another of themes, another of sound, etc.) No need to do
this, but just make sure you allhave something or some questions to take.
My office hours (to discuss leading dicussion or anything else related to the
class at any point during the semester) are Tu 12:45 to 1:45 in Tuesdays and
Thursdays and the hour after class on Thursdays. I can also meet you by appointment
if these times don't fit your schedule. The course packets are available at
University Copies on University near 17th St.
