So Lawrence Lessig will be on campus next Tuesday (2/20), and he will be speaking at 7pm in Hogg Auditorium, which most of you know. Since RHE 306 students are required to attend, I assume that 306 instructors will want to build some class time around discussing his talk. This may take the form of set-up before the event or follow-up after the event.

In any case, I think we could help each other by sharing our ideas here on the blog. So if you’re planning to prepare for Lessig’s talk by discussing the text in advance, how do you plan to do so? Will you have your students prepare questions they might ask, for instance? On the other hand, if you intend to save the discussion for follow-up, do you have specific ideas for making the discussion fruitful? Will you still ask students to listen for particular arguments or topics? Do you have any special activities planned?
