Integrated Reading and Writing

Project Guidelines, Part 3

Part 3  Create and share your dinner table conversation

  1. Using the Genial.ly slide template (included in the guide), build your conversation around the table. Each of the four slides will include 6  guests: (1) a professional association, (2) a scholarly research article, (3) a newspaper article, (4) a YouTube video, (5) a social media post, and (6) one additional source of your choice (consider other perspectives or stakeholders–like, a company website that addresses the topic).  Each slide will address one of the four questions that you answered in Part 2 (Who? What? How? Why?).

  2. Use your notes about each source to build your slides. Your responses for each source should be brief (2-3 sentences) and directly address the question for that slide.

  3. Share your findings in a 6-8 minute presentation about your topic. This will include an overview of your chosen issue question, an examination on whether there is consensus or controversy on the issue, what did you learn about exploring information in your field (including important platforms for information)?, and  where do you expect the conversation to go next?
