I think that we should have a reading guide as we prepare to read The Parable of the Sower so that we will have a better idea of what we should take note of as we read. I think that the readings will feel more connected to the class if we also address them in class more directly. I think that in light of the coronavirus, we should cancel the podcast project because it is not very feasible for us to meet with our groups, even with Zoom, or learn how to use podcast production software over video chat. Maybe instead, we could make individual iMovies or video presentations about the dystopian elements in the works we read or viewed. I think that we should continue having class discussions about our readings because they do deepen the knowledge we gained from the readings. Dr. Todd does a great job of facilitating fruitful discussions.
