"Teamwork divides the task and multiplies the success" -- Author Unknown

Group Project Assignment:

Each group will be responsible for:

1) Assigning a few interesting and college-appropriate readings for the class

2) Introducing the material (no more than 5 minutes)

3) Coming up with 3-5 thought-provoking discussion questions (on a handout or written on the board)

4) Starting the discussion of the topic/readings

5) Facilitating a short introductory activity like a quiz or game (optional)

The entire presentation/discussion of each group's topic and readings will be approximately 30 minutes only, so think about how to use those 30 minutes to achieve the three main objectives: provide information, get the class interested/engaged, and have a productive discussion of the material.

Also, since this is a group effort, think about how your group is going to split up the work evenly. This will count as 2 homework/in-class work grades. Each individual member of the group should also submit a short (maybe 1 page) write-up explaining what each member contributed to the whole project, from brainstorming to speaking in class. This piece of writing will count as an additional homework grade.
