Bat-Class: Group Workshop March

Wednesday March 17th students will work in their Groups:

Goals:

Review the reading list
Look at "Recommended, Pick Any 2" and discuss the following books in each topic:

Each person in your Group should pick at least 2 books.
You will have one month to research both books.
Nobody in your group reads the same book.
You should pick a book you haven't read.
State why you chose each book, and give us more than, "I chose this because I have not read it."
Did you choose the book because of the characters, a character, the genre, the art, the writer, the title, and why?
If one or more of your Group Members are not present for your meeting, let them know which books went un-selected, so they know what books they have left to choose from.

15-point Meetings Wed. Mar. 17

Use class time for small group work.
Groups from Instructor are viewable here.
Be prepared to have microphone on, camera on, so you can chat with everyone.
Decide who will research which books from the reading list.
Each student shares their plan in your 1 Google Doc shared among the group.
Example: seven students each share their 2 books, so your report should have a total of 14 books listed, 2 books per student with reasons the student wants to research that book.
Should be 1–2 pages in all and no more than 3 pages.
To earn the full 15/15 for this component, be present and working during class.
Not being in the Google Meet room results in absence and 0/15 for this work.
This grade is individual, each student gets their own Group Meeting Grade.

Submit 1 Group Report Mar. 22nd before the start of class.
When ready to send, export as a single PDF, following the PDF delivery instructions here.
Be sure to email PDF as attachment to instructor.
IMPORTANT: This 25-point writing grade is for each student, who adds to the Group Report completely, accurately, and professionally, including all of the items under Goals.

If you're Student XD whose writing is in this report completely/professionally/accurately XD gets 25/25
but if Student XØ has no writing at all, XØ will get 0/25, or if their writing is partial XØ gets 19/25 for example.

This work is weighted ×5, such that earning a 5 earns you a 25 (5×5=25).
a 5 is excellent, for writing that addresses all of the above Goals, little to no spelling/grammar issues
if a 4, it's above average, addresses most of the topics or maybe does so incompletely, with some spelling/grammar issues
a 3 isn't awful, but it only addresses some of the topics, with frequent spelling/grammar issues
you score a 2 because it might have very little content addressed, too many spelling/grammar issues
earning a 1–0 is for unsatisfactory, incomplete, or inappropriate work
