For each reading, you should prepare for class in the following way: 1. Attempt to summarize the author’s main point(s) in a sentence or two. 2. Identify specific terms, concepts, or passages that you found either confusing or interesting and enlightening (in other words, what would you like to bring up as a point of clarification or discussion). 3. Provide a reaction or two to the reading: What do you like or dislike about it? Agree or disagree with? How can you relate it to your experience?
