DEEP DIVE 10

Deep Dive Conversation 10: New Empires and Common Cultures 500 WORDS

Hello! Remember, conversations are meant to help us think about, digest, discuss, and question the issues we are confronting and the materials we are engaging. Pick something from the Deep Dive options that looks interesting, read (or watch or listen to) it, and then tell us about it. Some tips:

· Go beyond simple summaries of the item you selected

· Share what you found interesting, surprising, or significant about what you read (or viewed, or heard)

· Connect the item back to what we read and/or viewed for this module. 

Let's be sure that our conversations are informal, open, and engaging dialogues (and keep in mind you are more than welcome to use the video function to record yourself—note that it may take a few minutes to save). You can review the tips for conversations  here—remember to check back through the module.
