Last post I talked about why I choose to sequence assignments. In the next several posts I’d like to offer some techniques I’ve found useful in designing sequences so that you can create your own. One of the methods I use is reading centered. I start with a reading I really want to teach and then I build out the sequence from there. Given the shape of our semester we can usually cover four readings. I like to use the following pattern for assignments:
- Paper One on Reading One
- Paper Two on Reading One and Reading Two
- Paper Three on Readings One, Two, and Three
- Paper Four on Reading Four and one other reading of the student’s choice
- Appiah
- Christian
- Churchland
- Dalai Lama
- Fukuyama
- Gilbert
- Herzog
- Pollan
- Restak
- Wallace
