Student Presentation on Reading

Read Michelle Alexanders Chapter 3 and create a powerpoint on the analysis of the chapter.

Students will be assigned to lead the discussion for the week (discussion leader). These students are to conduct additional research on any issue related to the topic of the week (e.g., police legitimacy, police and school to prison pipeline) and present it to the class in a short and organized manner. For example, a student may read an article, book chapter, or official report, and discuss its relevance to the topic that week. In addition, students are expected to create a set of discussion questions that underscore critical themes or issues associated with the reading (5-10 questions will suffice) and are intended to facilitate the class discussion. You should work diligently to engage students in the class discussion by generating questions and activities that will elicit class
participation. Students assigned to lead the discussion for the week must lead the class discussion by doing the following:
(1) collaboratively identify the thesis of the assigned reading,
(2) introduce peer-reviewed articles/research on the
topic of the week, and
(3) facilitate discussion with 5-10 questions.

The additional research that you present to the class must advance our understanding of the topic for the week. It is not enough to read an article about youth and policing, and present an article about youth and policing. You must clearly describe how the research furthers our understanding of the issue at hand (teach us something new).

Please only use liberal point of view as that is my point of view. I am for abolition and defunding the police so please right from that perspective. I believe police are racist and use excessive force and policing in black and brown communities and lower income communitites, and I agree with Michelle Alexanders POV.
