Find a partner with a different number than you.
You will teach each other the text. While learning/teaching, write down any questions that remain! Questions that will help us delve deeper!
As a pair, identify a “Power Quote” from each text (powerful quotes that reveal something, provoke thought, connect clearly to big ideas, etc.)
Write at least 1 question per text that you want an answer to.
Let’s discuss!

Establish your position, write your thesis, choose your texts
What can you say about each text and what IT says about how culture informs one’s perspective.
Divide the essay (organize by claim or text)
Essay can be most effectively organized by theme, point, similarity, or aspect of the topic
It can also be organized by text; however, difficult to truly synthesis this way.
