Step two (20 minutes)  When you've completed your review, working either as an individual or with your partner, outline an activity using one (or more if you choose) resource.   Before you start, consider the following questions:

• How would this assignment support key learning skills, methods, or mode of thinking?
• How would the electronic materials suit the assignment's intended pedagogy or methodological goals? What, if any, difference do the electronic materials make in construction of the activity (as compared to print materials)?
• How would this assignment be contextualized in your classroom?  How might you follow it up?

Step three (10 minutes)  Post your activity to the speakeasy cafe (event 2.1, table 1).

Step four (10 minutes)  Review as many of the posted activities (on the speakeasy cafe) as time permits.
