Q: How will we present to everyone online? Will there be a video chat type of thing?
- A: You won’t present online, no Zoom video meeting
Q: Is this class doing any zoom calls? Why?
- A: No. The "live" format of Zoom will not allow for students to discuss at their own pace/schedule.
Q: Would we do the seminar over a zoom discussion or would we have to type or questions and ideas.
- A: Using Padlet and typing answers. You can also add other media to Padlet, like pictures or links.
Q: Do we need to upload our annotations and seminar prep sheet from the first group's article somewhere?
- A: To reduce the amount of things y’all need to do, I will check your annotations and seminar prep sheet when we get back to school.
Q: What if not everyone shows up on the online discussion? Will they have to make up for it? If so, how?

Q: Are you going to be sending the link out for it?
- A: Yes, and I’ll post it in the class calendar and my website
Q: Is the seminar going to be just writing comments like the LOTF discussion on Padlet?
