syntopical reading: variations

  • Read Aheads--print and distribute a syntopical reading prior to the event.
  • Become the Author--assign each participant a book to read; then during the design process, each participant not only reports what the author has to say, but is asked to "become" the author, participation in the design process as the author would have done. This variation may be referred to as Author to Author rather than Syntopical Reading
