Discussion lead
Due: once, when assigned
Total points: 5
Each student will be responsible for leading one class discussion (due to class size, two students may be discussion leads at one time). You will need to carefully read all required readings for your assigned session and generate a few “focusing questions” to prompt and guide class discussion. Please consider the class session theme, how the readings interact with each other and the theme, and how these readings will apply to practicum/professional work.
In addition to “focusing questions,” it may be helpful to have highlighted a few selections from the readings that resonated with you or left you with questions.
