Group symposium assignment sheet with deadline dates, cleaned up.
In addition, I have asked the department to provide us with a more readable copy of the symposium evaluation sheet. I will know more about this on Wednesday and may update this post.
-----------------
The instructor gave students the group symposium assignment. We read the assignment in class.
The instructor introduced a list of "problems" and students joined a group based on interest in the topic. Students then had class time to do a breakdown of the topic for purposes of directing their research. They also formed a group email list and the instructor had copies of this made for them and distributed to each group member.
During the last part of class, a video called "Voices" was shown. The purpose of the video is to illustrate how self-perception is formed and what it has to do with communication. Students were asked to take notes because later they will be asked to connect points from the video with points in the first two chapters of the text.
The instructor asked about interviews for the "I Am" journal.
Next week:
"I Am" journal assignment: bring field notes from two interviews for points toward the grade on this assignment
Group symposium: bring three articles pertaining to the student's section of the presentation. Students should have all citation material for the article with them as we will be doing citations in class at some point.
Write a full-sentence outline and transfer it to keywords. Keywords (only 30-50 total) go on the index card. Bring a digital camera, cell phone with movie capability, or other type of movie recording device to the next class. Students will rehearse for the symposium at this class. Students will be asked to show their full-sentence outline and cards to the instructor for credit.
Read first two chapters in the text.
