Tips on How To Prepare for Class Discussion:

The following questions may be helpful to keep in mind when preparing for discussion:
1) What is the author�s central thesis? What is she (he, they) trying to do in the piece?
2) What is the theoretical framework being employed? How is it manifested?
3) What is the author�s positionality(ies)? Do you agree or disagree with the author�s views? Why? Why not? What (if anything) is missing in this piece?
4) How does this piece compare to what we have read so far?
Be prepared to share 1 or 2 questions/critical comments or key words for class discussion.
