Commenting a document together
For this week's assignment, we are all going to comment on the same document. The task is very similar to last week's, with the difference that you will now see your classmates' comments.
You are the required to read the text, highlight what you find essential and comment on it. If you find that somebody already highlighted or commented on some passage, then you can add your comment answering directly to that person's comment (this means, of course, you would not need to highlight again).
At some points, small discussions will emerge. Also, you can give answers to the questions other people wrote. We will also find which passages generated more questions and see how other people understood specific points.
Follow the same principles of last week's assignment: read and dialogue with the text. Write questions you might have, appreciations of things you liked or not, references to other discussions or texts that you read, things that you think could be discussed in class, etc. etc., etc. You don't need to comment too much, but you need to show that you were engaged with the reading.
The firsts people to add comments will not have anything to comment on, but that is not a problem. You can (if desired) access later again and check what your fellows have done and comment again. I might also peek sometimes and maybe comment as well.
For this activity, we will use a google document that already has the text copied on it (This means that you don't need to read the pdf before, but you can go directly to the google docs).
If you don't have, or don't want to use your google account, you can edit without login in. But if you do so, please add your name to every comment you make so many of you are not called "anonymous". Also keep in mind that if you don't log in you cannot edit your comments.
We will have until Monday night to add comments.
Please be careful not to erase other people comments.
Don't hesitate to write to me with any question or problem you might have.
Best
