w9 hot topics reading review
Reading Review Instructions:
For the Hot Topics Reading Review assignment, you will share your responses to the following questions regarding one of these three topics. You are encouraged to focus on just one topic for the week (you are not required to comment on all three topics). Our goal is to seek depth of dialogue/discussion over breadth throughout the week. We’ll do this by seeing/exploring of various perspectives and identifying gaps in our knowledge by working together to figure out what we collectively don’t know.
