Dissoi Logoi
Dissoi Logoi
Note: all of the examples below ask students to engage in dissoi logoi beyond two perspectives or "sides." Students should not be able to compose two contrasting essays. Effective dissoi logoi prompts should ask students to engage in - at minimum - three (and probably at most four) key perspectives, sides, stakeholders, or other significant factors personalized to your course and theme.
