Throughout the semester we will read many texts, chapters, and books. Each week you will work with your group to complete a Study Guide on an assigned reading or multiple readings for the week.

You can liken this study guide to a sort of “Spark’s Notes” or “Cliff’s Notes” of the chapter. It is your job to develop a general overview of what you’ve read, pointing out important aspects of the text, and also making connections with your assigned text and other texts.

Working with Groups:
When you work with a group, make sure you all decide who will do which parts, or how you’d like to work on the assignment together. Be sure to place your name in parentheses next to your portion of the Study Guide that you worked on, but also know that your grade will be for the FULL STUDY GUIDE as a group. If after the first couple of weeks you find that your group is not working well together and you’d rather work with another person or alone, you will have that option.

Sample Study Guides:

Below are Sample Study Guides from Previous classes can be seen here:

Directions:
1. Build your study guide in your Group’s Wikispace or Collaborations page through Canvas and share the URL with me when it’s time to turn in the assignment.
2. Sometimes your Study Guide will be on a specific TEXT and sometimes on a CONCEPT.
3. The document should be single spaced, with an extra space between each section or part.
4. Please follow the study-guide format and structure EXACTLY, labeling each part with a title.

Below is  the format. You can copy it EXACTLY and use it as a template.
