Mike,
Now I'm confused - you say chapters are not a good division but them your
break down is exactly that.
I have 6 chapters (plus another intro) that correspond to your breakdown but
since they are in word format not the page numbers you mentioned.
Mike says,
1. Introduction: pp, 1-28
2. Emergence of learning activity 29-91, 92-137
3. Zoped as a basic category 138-168, 169-209
4. Instruments of expansion 210-267, 267-317
5. Towards an expansive methodology (15) and Epilogue (1)
I think I see now we split the chapters 2, 3, and 4 in two, but how would
this play out electronically since I am not working with nor will most of us
have any knowledge of the actual page numbers. The idea as I take it would
be roughly 50 pages a week.
For simplicity how about this, ( ) = pages in word
1) 1 Week: Introduction to German edition (15) and Chapter 1 introduction
(20)
2) 2 Weeks: Emergence of Learning Activity (81)
3) 2 Weeks: Zoped as a basic category (56)
4) 2 Weeks: Instruments of expansion (80)
5) 1 Week: Towards an expansive methodology (15) and Epilogue (1)
This keeps us in the 8 week time frame but we would discuss the longer
chapters longer not split them up as two seperate readings / discusssions.
However; Mike if there was logic besides length to the split that'll work,
but I will need some more info on where this break would be.
I will email Don Cunningham the two intro in word and will plan to have
those intro's available in html by the beginning of next week.

Dear Xmca-ites,
I do not know how much of learning by expanding Nate has been able to scan,
but it seems, given Yrjo's preference for a divison of coordinating labor
(he will be teaching two classes + during his 10 weeks here, to say nothing
of the work he will be doing at a distance back home!) we need to get
volunteers to host reading segments.
Chapters don't appear to be plausible segmentation units for reading because
there are only 6 of them, including the epilogue, and they are of very
uneven
lengths.
So, I suggest we break the text, for discussion purposes, as follows
1. Introduction: pp, 1-28
2. Emergence of learning activity 29-91, 92-137
3. Zoped as a basic category 138-168, 169-209
4. Instruments of expansion 210-267, 267-317
5. Towards an expansive methodology 318-337
6. Epilogue
Eight weeks worth. During those eight weeks there will be AERA and SRCD (
child dev meetings). Our quarter is 10 weeks long. So, it seems that if we
schedule the 8 sequentially and allow for slack, we could finish by
summer break here at UCSD. That will be AFTER schools close in many parts
of the world, so we might try sticking to the April-May time slot.
NOW: WHAT VOLUNTEERS TO WRITE A BRIEF SUMMARY AND RAISE SOME DISCUSSION
QUESTIONS GOING FOR EACH SEGMENT? Write your responses to XMCA so others
can see what spots are taken. First come, first serve. If you are interested
in a second half of ch 2-4 refer to it as "Numner X, part B."
Having served as the official opponent for this thesis, I recuse myself
from coordination, but not participation.
:-)
