Each Discussion assignment involve a minimum of three posts: a first post that responds to one (or more) of the questions posed below; and response posts to at least two other students' first posts. I also encourage you to pose your own questions for the group discussion. The first post should assert arguments (ideas) and support them with evidence from sources (the assigned materials in the course), and should be at least 500 words. I recommend a deep dive with one of the questions to demonstrate depth of knowledge. The posts in response to other students' first posts should engage with the ideas in a manner that simulates a conversation that would take place in person in a classroom. In other words, do not "grade" the essay by correcting grammar or pointing out what the student could have done differently. I recommend responding to students who answered questions different than the one you selected to demonstrate breadth of knowledge. While critical thinking is encouraged, response posts must always remain respectful.
