Description
My students love discussion-based assignments. I created this seminar resource to give structure and purpose to student discussion, as well as practicing text annotation and research skills. This is a complete project using Chapter 17 of The Prince, by Machiavelli. You may be asking about a seminar: where to start? This project will help you and your students with the whole process, saving you time!
This would be a great project for distance learning; you can hold the seminar on any video-conferencing platform or you can adapt it and have students each submit individual video responses using a number of different platforms! Google Drive and PDF options are provided.
