Tips & Expectations for the Discussion Leaders
Be prepared to facilitate at least 40 minutes of discussion. More is fine.
Be familiar with the basic topics of the assigned reading.
Create 3 or more discussion questions pertaining to the assigned reading.
Plan to spend 10 minutes or more on each question.
Have responses to each of the questions you bring.
Connect.
Think of how Kuhn relates (or doesn't) to Dunham and/or DFW.
Try to identify themes or patterns in the texts.
What do you find interesting? Chances are that someone else will too.
Be critical. Everything is a function of time & place. Is the style of the writing noteworthy?
Have fun. Are there funny/surprising/weird elements in the reading?
