Again, ya'll... great discussion! I was particularly impressed with folks' comments regarding the articles from Unit I! The same level of analysis that you used in the written posts for those first chapters in the book will foster fantastic discussions in classes to come!!
As we saw in action tonight... in terms of structuring your guided discussion:
(1) Be sure that you can familiarize your classmates with any aspects of the article that might not be as clear to the casual reader;
(2) Analyze the article in terms of all the major strengths and weaknesses of its argument, and be ready to facilitate your classmates' understanding of them;
(3) Search and read recent news articles that tie your topic to recent events so that you can make the discussion as current as possible.

As for the final paper, this project is still developing organically, but its minimum requirements will be:
(1) Nine pages :-)
(2) An feasibility study of your article's issue, based upon your up-to-date reading and analysis of the topic together with a synthesis of your experience in the Honors' core curriculum, in your major, and as an SJC soon-to-be graduate.
(3) And, lastly, what do you say about an April 18th deadline??
