Scholarly writing involves building on others\u2019 work. Often, the success of a piece of writing hinges on the depth of students\u2019 engagement with sources. To help students develop critical reading skills–and make sure they do the reading!–we may ask them to post questions and comments about assigned readings to a discussion forum, in lieu of or in preparation for in-class discussion. This lesson plan<\/a>, developed by UWP Lecturer Rebecca Wilbanks for Katherine Henry\u2019s Applications of Biological Concepts in Public Health (with associated slides<\/a> and handout<\/a>), is meant to help students formulate more thoughtful, probing, and critical questions and reading responses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The moves we make in a discussion seminar as we respond to colleagues\u2014agreeing, extending, disagreeing, and making connections between others\u2019 remarks\u2014are the same moves that we make in scholarly writing. This modeling exercise<\/a> from UWP Senior Lecturer Aliza Watters asks students to model different moves during an in-person discussion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Slides and activities to up the level of online and in-person discussions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2373,"parent":0,"template":"","project_type":[168],"class_list":["post-2372","ksasresearchprojects","type-ksasresearchprojects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_type-general"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/writing-program\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ksasresearchprojects\/2372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/writing-program\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ksasresearchprojects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/writing-program\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ksasresearchprojects"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/writing-program\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ksasresearchprojects\/2372\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3010,"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/writing-program\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ksasresearchprojects\/2372\/revisions\/3010"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/writing-program\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/writing-program\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krieger.jhu.edu\/writing-program\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_type?post=2372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Bonus activity for in-person discussions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
