Group Colloquium Question Assignment
Please develop four questions for the
faculty colloquia related to the specific topics we have discussed in class.
Each question must be followed by a short summary (1 paragraph) elaborating
on the points or concerns of your question in greater detail. All
of your questions should be based on topics and issues of the particular
course section. These are, in order: 1. "Politics and the English Language,"
2."Literature and Society," and 3."Rhetoric and Writing in College"
Suggested ideas or themes for questions:
questions based on specific ideas from the readings
questions based on specific ideas raised in class
discussion
questions about each faculty's own teaching approach
or general attitude about a certain topic or issue
I am making your readings available to each member of the faculty colloquium. I hope the conversation will be as free-wheeling as possible, but you should stick close to topics at hand.
Paragraph ideas:
Describe the reading or comment that prompted
your question. Summarize it. What interested you in the specific
question or topic you list?
Your list of questions should be typed and
double-spaced and turned in on the class day immediately preceding the
faculty colloquium.
