Discussion Topics (Before Class, After Reading)

1. Concept and Brief Description
2. Emotional Hook (provocative question/claim/real-life problem)
3. Key Points to Elicit in Discussion
4. Facilitative Questions

Learning Reflections (After Class)

In addition to discuss topic posts in relation to each assigned class reading, following each class session you will also be expected to post brief reflections on some of your learning (at least 200 words). Some of the questions you may want to consider when typing up your reflections may include:

• How did material/discussion from today's class change my thinking about ____ (any topic, maybe one that you posted a discussion topic or some other point in the reading or class session).
• How did material/discussion from today's class/reading improve your understanding of previously learned material?
• How did material/discussion from today's class alter how you view yourself or the world?
• How did material/discussion from today's class apply specifically to you and your current situation?
