Comment on a topic of interest to you from this week's reading, and respond to at least two of your classmates' posts.  Ask a question of your classmates or of me, discuss why you found the topic interesting, share additional resources you may have found on the topic, and look for posts on the topic that may offer a different perspective from your own.

Your initial post should be a minimum of 200 words, with replies to the posts of two or more of your classmates that are at least 125 words in length.  The replies to your classmates should add to the conversation, rather than simply agree with their comments.  Your initial post in each discussion board throughout the course should be submitted by Wednesday midnight, and the responses by Sunday midnight, with the exception of the shortened week in unit 8.  This is the last time that the discussion board expectations will be included with the discussion board question.  Please refer back to these expectations for the remaining discussion board assignments in unit 2 through 8.
