This is an opportunity for you to engage informally with the reading material. In your responses, explain one
idea that you discovered from the author and explore it in any way you see fit. This is an opportunity for you to
make meaning of the reading before we engage in group discussion.
Choose a direct quote from the text and explain itâdescribe its meaning to your reader.
Write one paragraph that encapsulates an idea related to it: why you think this quote was interesting ; what this
quote makes you think about from other things weâve discussed or read; or what this quote reminds you of from
your own life and observations.
