Academic Reading Circles

This discussion will take place in your small groups. Please see below for who has signed up for each role in your groups. Remember to prepare for your role in advance so your group can have a meaningful discussion!

Chatboard Group Discussion

We’ll start our discussion of this week’s reading, Robin Briggs’ The Witches of Lorraine, on the chatboard. Below is a list of chatboard discussion leaders for this week. If you are signed up, please post 1-2 questions in your group’s channel. These questions can ask about your group’s thoughts regarding the whole book or specific aspects of it, relate to sources or specific arguments, highlight themes… it is up to you! Just make sure they are open ended (not questions that would elicit a yes/no answer) as the idea is to get your group chatting with one another.

Questions should be posted by Monday evening. For the rest of the group members, please respond before class on Thursday.
