About

These discussion questions can be used at your discretion, but are designed with group discussion in mind. The intention for these questions is that they should be used as the basis for small group discussion, class discussion or small group presentations. In the case of small group presentations, students should be given the discussion questions and asked to informally write out their responses. Students should then be placed in groups of two, three or four. Groups should be assigned a single question and asked to prepare a brief presentation on that question (by simply combining ideas and notes and sharing those with the class).
