Engage in Discussion

First Post - Due Saturday

This is an annotated reading assignment, using Hypothesis. For this assignment, you'll practice the S-I-T model for reading the text:

S - SurprisingI - InterestingT - Troubling or tricky

Please provide three annotations, as follows:

1. Point out something you found surprising. Explain what was surprising or new.
2. Comment on something you found interesting. Explain why you found it interesting.
3. Comment on something you found troubling or tricky. Explain why you found it to be so.

Second Post - Optional

Typically, a second post is required for collaborative assignments--but not for this one! Week 1 is a bit hectic, so you are encouraged, but not required, to respond to a classmate.

Make sure to also read/view my annotations on the document. (Two short videos and one written comment.)

Note: While I am monitoring discussion, I typically do not participate (or participate very little), as this is meant to be a collaborative space for students.

Time Frame

About one hour.
