Instructions: Please share three key points from the readings, with quotes, and explain their significance.

As you read the two assigned articles, you will work in small groups to collaboratively annotate the texts. While you are free to annotate with any thoughts, connections, or interpretations that occur to you, you can also use the following questions as a guide:

• What point by the author(s) most captured your interest and why? How do these points confirm or contradict prior authors?

• What's something you agreed with based on your experiences or knowledge?

• What's something you disagreed with, questioned, or found unclear? How does this connect to your own views or background?

The original prompt offers students some degree of choice by allowing them to identify key points in the articles. However, this task could easily be outsourced to an AI tool, which might generate a list of key points without much effort from students.

The revised prompt shifts the assignment from a summary to a process-oriented task that encourages students to demonstrate their thinking as they engage with the reading. By asking them to draw on previous readings and personal experiences, the assignment becomes more challenging for AI to replicate convincingly and less appealing for students to outsource. The collaborative aspect of the task elevates the expectation for original thought, as students are more likely to want to be authentic when sharing their thoughts with peers.
