post seminar notes
Thanks for attending / your interest in this topic
We first of all looked at online forums in the context of IGGY our network for bright pupils at:
Marina’s presentation is attached here:
Perhaps the most interesting part of the discussion was articulating our interpretations of sample texts: for example what did we see in the text? how far could this interpretation come from the text and how much was this us bringing our own framework to it? We were also able to find out more about IGGY itself.
Michael looked more at frameworks for analysis talking and putting some of this in context. The presentation is attached:
Some of these discussion can be explored further in the following and I have awlays found Austin below has offered a model for supporting reasoned argument in potnetially divisive contexts.
