Before the presentation:
Day 1:
- Identify the question you are presenting.
- What is your initial response/opinion to it? Write an explanation and call it Initial View of BQ #__.
Day 2 (do research in the library):
- What three philosophers have you chosen to use in the presentation? Choose philosophers that take different sides of the question and not just your own.
- What works will you be citing from the philosophers? Include bibliographic info.
Day 3:
- How are you presenting this work to the class?
- What roles will each person take during the presentation?
- What alternate plans do you have for an absent team member on that day?
- Prepare an interesting survey question and lead a seminar that explores answers to it on Day 5.
Day 4:
Write a short essay that draws some conclusions about your view about the big question:
- Did your opinion change? How? What influenced you to change your mind?
- Did your opinion not change? What influenced you to hold to your initial view?
Call the essay Drawing Conclusions about Big Question # ___.
Day 5:
Lead a seminar on your question.
