Reading Analysis 1 Instructions:
In these short assignments of c.800 words, create a summary of your ideas of chapter 1&2, as you move through the pre-reading process of our initial classroom discussions. You should find that your ideas develop as you leave the classroom and then prepare to lay out your ideas in the Discussion Forum. Only write the short Reading Analysis assignment once you feel that you have fully analyzed the reading and its main ideas. You might end with a short statement on how your thinking on a particular topic has changed and deepened as a result of being part of a ‘beehive mind’ kind of community. The rubric also provides direction on how to approach the assignment.
Notes are not required, you may use in-line citations: ex., (Newall and Pooke, p. 59)
