It will be your group's responsibility to first provide a brief summary of the assigned readings, and then provide "poignant and lively discussion" on the topics at hand, based upon your "eye juggling" interpretation of the texts. Also, attempt to link any of the themes or topics from your readings with the themes and topics as presented by Huston Smith. If you group has been assigned a selection of "verses," "sayings," "poems," and/or "tales," you may select a series of these verses, sayings, poems or tales that you think are particularly insightful or representative, and focus your discussion on them. After you have read, applied the "eye juggling" method of interpretation, and fully comprehended the significances and insights of the reading assigned to your group, formulate key questions that will bring those significances and insights to the entire class and engage your fellow students in some stimulating and engaging discussion. Your group will generally have thirty-five (35) minutes to present your materials and lead discussion.
