Week 8 Discussion Groups

Since this week begins a headlong dive into the final project and, with it, the beginning of the end of the quarter (which sounds much more sinister than I mean it to sound), I’m trying to keep the workload a little lighter this week. While we still have to keep moving forward, I think it might help to take a step back, to take some time to breathe and to start thinking about your final projects for the course.

Talk About the Material

Since you found your own examples of effective rhetoric this week, spend some time discussing what you selected and why, and whether you can take any lessons away from your and your group members’ texts that might be applicable to the final project.

Check in and brainstorm

Take some time to check in with one another. Make sure you’re all doing okay and feeling okay – the quarter is coming to an end, which can be stressful for everyone, not to mention the normal stress of life!

Talk about and brainstorm for the final project…. it might help to look at the questions on the prompt (under “Questions to consider”) as you do so.
