Week 2 Remote Learning Plan: Contemporary Iran

Our asynchronous class calls will be on Monday and Friday from 9:40-10:25 via Zoom. You will receive an invitation with a password via your email account.   Zoom #1 will be a full class discussion of materials provided by Ms. Gerst immediately below; Zoom #2 will involve breakout groups on the individual group topics.
Zoom Call #1 
PREP: Please review the videos and charts sent by Ms. Gerst ahead of the call.   
Deliberative discussion question: How does the electoral system work in Iran? 
Make you sure have watched Ms. Gerst's entire Week 1 VIDEO and the Week 2 VIDEO (try to watch at least 15 minutes to hear 2 opposing views) on the blog linked HERE before class starts at 9:40 am. Please save the below charts to your computer for class.  




Zoom Call #2 
PREP: Please review the projects of the other groups posted on our blog HERE.  And don’t forget to complete the survey I sent you. Only 50% have responded so far. 

Mixed Expert Groupings for Contemporary Iran Discussions  
We agreed to mix up the original working groups, placing one expert from each original group into a new group so that every group has representatives from all of the original groups. Group assignments for break-out groups for next week are sorted by student initials. Next week, we will have one video call in which we breakout into the new groups for these topics  and one video call in which we stay to together to discuss my video topics (i.e., political analysis and role in the region).  I'm pretty sure I can enter the break-out groups as a moderator, rotating from group to group randomly to listen in on the discussion.
