Discussion Breakdown

1. Break into small groups - pick Said or Lewis to read (or both?!?!)

2.Describe the main idea(s) of each article & outline the main support for these ideas. In other words, focus on outlining articles into easy to understand chunks so it is easy to recall this information later. Since you will need to use this information for our discussion - outline now to make it easier later.

3. Look over UNC controversy (including source images)

4. Come up with discussion questions (concerning Islam, TED Talks, etc.)

5. We will have 4 people at the table at one time - 1 person will be given the title "facilitator" in which they will select the opening questions for discussion and whose responsibility is to keep the conversation going. We will rotate out occasionally.

6. HW: By Wednesday 1/28 - Please post a reflection of the discussion, readings, TED Talks, etc. on your blog.

IB RUBRIC FOR BLOGS (ON MOST ENTRIES)

Here is a brief breakdown of how you will be graded on blog entries:

7(100): Excellence beyond reproach (you should be published)

6 (96): Very good performance: Detailed knowledge and understanding, logically structured, appropriate terminology; analysis, evaluation and synthesis of knowledge; strong awareness of multiple perspectives; strong evidence and critical thinking

5(93): Good Performance: Sound knowledge and understanding; answers are logical and coherent, but could be extended; some integration of knowledge and concepts; tendency to be more descriptive than evaluative although shows contrasting views; solid evidence of critical thinking; an ability to analyze data

4(90): Strong Performance: Secure knowledge and understanding beyond 'common sense' points; ability to structure, but need to improve clarity and focus; ability to develop ideas, relate facts, substantiate assertions, but is more descriptive than analytical; ability to interpret data, solve problems and engage in analysis.

3(84): Mediocre performance:Demonstrates some knowledge and understanding; a basic use of terminology and structure; some ability to make links between facts and ideas. Assignment clearly lacks the depth of response.

2:(74) Poor performance: limited knowledge and understanding, some sense of structure, limited use of terminology, limited ability to make links between facts and ideas. Information is very limited in depth expected for assignment.

1:(65) Very poor performance: very limited knowledge and understanding; no clear structure, inadequate terminology, limited demonstration of understanding of data or analysis. Large gaps in demonstration or completion of expectations.
