Each week, you will be asked to respond to the prompt or prompts in the discussion forum. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length, and is due on Sunday. By Tuesday, you should respond to two additional posts from your peers. 

Writing in a concise manner is best generally speaking, however the used of adjectives and adverbs help connect a reader! Think about the use of descriptive words that appeal to your five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

Jackson bought a book. vs. Jackson thoughtfully purchased a tattered book at the used bookstore.

Prison reform is needed. vs. The unfortunate reality is that America’s outdated prisons have systematically failed to yield positive results, so a reform is needed.

Adjectives, and adverbs better convey what is meant. Watch the TED talk link below:

Think of a personal experience you have had regarding your own culture, or encountering a culture unfamiliar to you. Write about this experience in your initial post giving detailed descriptions, so that a reader can connect with your writing. It can be as simple as a conversation you once had with someone of a different cultural background, or an experience had while traveling.

Your initial post should be no less than 75-150 words total.
