A short homework assignment, comprising a brief quotation from the assigned text,, a non-obvious question or observation, and a contribution to the class discussion (if called on).

The agenda item is part of "React," the second "R" in the RRRR sequence.

For each assigned reading that gets its own page in the course syllabus, post an agenda item about 24 hours before the reading is scheduled to be discussed. Your goal is to demonstrate that you are thinking about the assigned readings in advance, so that you have time to complete the readings, and you can arrive in the classroom with ready to respond to what your peers are thinking about it.

For readings that are listed for Tuesday, students in both sections are to post their agenda item by 4pm Monday (though I'll have more time to comment if you post by noon). For readings listed for Thursday, the agenda item should be posted by noon on Wednesday.
