PANEL
DISCUSSIONS
 Each roundtable group will present a panel discussion to the class .
Each individual in the group will focus on one member of the
roundtable
(questions 1 & 2 ), and the entire group will answer questions 3, 4 and 5 as part of the
panel discussion.
In order to
formulate the answers to the questions, you need to discuss
them among the members of your group. You can do this in the
designated area on the Discussion Board, talk to each on the phone, set up a
time to meet, or set up a chat on
the Discussion Board.
Each member of the group
must participate in the panel presentation in
class by presenting her individual woman in questions 1 and 2 and
participating in answering questions 3,4, and 5. Of course, anyone on the panel can jump in at any time to
comment.
Your panel discussion should last 20-30 minutes.
QUESTIONS
-
What sort of influence was wielded by your woman? Be specific to each individual.
-
If she was an author or
artist of any type, specifically discuss at least one of her works; if
she wielded political or military power, specifically discuss at least one
action for which she was responsible; if she was a religious figure, discuss
how her life or work affected the practice of the religion she followed.
-
How typical/atypical were each of your women in the society in which she lived? Describe
the typical roles of women in these societies (a society can be construed as a family,

the roles of women were in each specific society.
-
How did the members of your roundtable affect or redefine the role of women in
her specific society?
