Article Summary Project.

Student Reviews
and Critiques
of Three Articles.

Three Threaded Discussions
about
Honor, Womanhood, and Illness.

Each student has selected an article to read, summarize, and discuss. There are three articles being read by the class and up to seven students are simultaneously reading each article.

The summary should consist of:
1) a description of the content of the article. About a half to two thirds of a type written page.
2) the student's assessment of the article. What was good about it. What was bad. What did the student learn. This should be about a half to two thirds of a page.

The initial summary should be about a page to a page and a half long.

Each student should submit their summary to the class website by the due date.

After the summaries are posted on the website, each student should read their classmates' summaries and comment on them on the website. Students are encouraged to critique each others work and to engage in dialogue with each other.

Please keep your comments polite. Having a disagreement over historical fact and interpretation is fine, if you can support it historically. Avoid personal insults and gratuitously nasty comments.
