Unit 7: Discussion

 

Instructions

Participation in the discussion thread is worth 20 points per unit. The assignment consists of two things—posting your first response to the prompts, and participating in the conversation by responding to at least two of your peers’ postings.

NOTE: Do not simply copy and paste from your reading journal into the discussion. You can use some of the ideas from your journal to frame your discussion post/responses, but the discussion posts must be substantially different from the reading journal.

Discussion Prompt Initial Response

The full ten points will be given to a discussion response posting that

· Responds to every aspect of the discussion prompt with originality (do not just repeat what other students say – what is different that you can add to the conversation?)

· Displays a familiarity with the texts and topics being discussed, using specific details or examples from the text(s)

· Exceeds 250 words

At the discretion of the instructor, points will be taken off any response that does not fulfill all of these goals. Late points will be deducted according to the standard late submission policy. 

Response to Peers

The full ten points will be given if you provide at least two response postings that

· Interact with a classmate’s post with originality and thoroughness

· Add something new to the conversation

· Exceed 50 word each

At the discretion of the instructor, points will be taken off any response that does not fulfill all of these goals. Late points will be deducted according to the standard late submission policy. 

You are very much encouraged to post more than twice to the postings of your peers; the two longest postings are just the ones that will be evaluated.

Unit 7 Discussion Prompt

You will each choose one page from Fun Home to read closely and then share what you noticed. (Try to choose different pages!) How do the visuals complement or contradict the text?
