Handouts, Worksheets, and In-Class Activity Instructions, and/or PPTs: Draft Review Guide
Summary/Response Due Today
Today is one of the three times during the semester you are required to write a 150-word summary, a 150-word analysis, and 1-3 discussion questions about what you learned from class readings so far. You are asked to bring to class a copy of a one-page handout with your summary, your analysis, and your discussion questions of the class readings completed up to this point.
At the top of your handout, write your name, the date, and a title of your summary/response. Thanks to your summaries, responses and discussion questions, we will use the information in the readings and in your analyses to debate some of the controversies surrounding Global Englishes, as well as analyzing examples of language practices.In addition to summarizing the main ideas you learned from the latest readings in the summary portion, use the analysis portion to critique concepts and models we study in class, add your own personal experiences or other information, connect course readings to your research on your topic, etc.
Bonus Points: If you read a news source related to the topic of your reading/response, refer to it in your response, cite it, and discuss the connection between the ideas in the required reading and your news article, you’re eligible for up to 5 bonus points.
