For the discussion lead, you are responsible for facilitating the class conversation, not creating a lecture. This is a less formal approach to an individual presentation, and an example of a discussion handout follows the explanation.

1. Prepare—you must know the content well, so you can better facilitate the discussion.
   1. Read the story more than once. You’ll notice more.
   2. Read with a pencil, marking in the margins, or taking notes on paper.
   3. As you read, write down questions, reactions, & responses. Use these to build your questions for the class.
   4. Do some research—what are other people saying about that version of the story? (include your source)
   5. It’s okay not to have the answers to your question. Ask the class what they
   6. You can meet with me or email your questions ahead of time for feedback and guidance.
   7. Have someone else read your questions out loud to you, or read your questions out loud to someone else to make sure they say what you mean for them to say.

1. Plan carefully—It’s hard to judge what will spark the most interesting discussions ahead of time. Sometimes the simpler questions lead to an amazing conversation.
   1. Have more questions than you think you’ll need (even if not on the handout/screen).
   2. Structure your questions to spark conversation. Avoid yes/no constructs (look at examples in handout).
   3. Vary your question type: analysis, specific questions about plot or character, literary criticism, film theory, pop culture, history, gender, connections/context, etc.,
   4. Be ready with follow up questions (in the moment or write a few on your copy). Your goal is to facilitate a conversation. Your classmates will do their best to be prepared and answer, right? (Remember that when it’s not your turn to lead). Do you best to move the conversation forward.
   5. Be deliberate in the order of your questions—lead the class & conversation somewhere.
   6. Do your best to make sure every voice is heard. **Include some questions that expect every participant to answer. (Go around the room at least once, and ifyou lead with an “everyone answers” question, it can break the ice and studetns feel stronger about answering out loud.) Even a few “would you rather…” early on can help.

1. Show evidence of care—
   1. Proofread
   2. Have your handout to Ms. Randall 24 hours before your day so it can be posted in BB.
   3. Be ready when class begins

What I look for:

• Did you show attention to what the class has already discussed and what your discussion could add to the conversation?
• Did you consider what main writing task we are working toward (Fairy Tale, Interpretation, or Scholarly Research essay?)
• Did you consider what we could learn from the discussion? (move beyond like or dislike to bigger ideas)
• Were you prepared to lead? (on time, ready to begin, focused and engaged with the class)
• Did you clearly spend some time with the story? (not the time to “wing it”)
• Were your questions easy to understand and clearly structured?
• Was there evidence of care in the appearance and content of your handout?

The example handout that follows is a guideline—a place to start. You do not have to follow the order or headings, but you do need to at least have:

• Background details
• Your favorite part & discuss why
• 5-7 questions

Read your story many times, do some digging, and above all else, think: What should we not miss about this story?
