APL overview

1.  Book club (see post below for titles).  Pick a book, find a buddy.  Book due 2nd week of Jan.
2.  Synthessy.  Choose a chapter.  Read 5 common selections with others in your group.  Read and complete a guide sheet for each reading (1 per group, graded identically).  Once your groups shares a common knowledge of the issue from the common readings, branch out to explore your own, individual area of interest.  Find an additional 3-4 sources.  Write an essay synthesizing your position, recognizing the existing conversation and adding to it.
3.  Toulmin review ppts on site. A plain old google search works well too, if stuck. . .
