- The board is a chance for you to express your own opinions and personalities, so you can go off in any direction you choose, as long as you’re clearly responding to the topic.
- Do NOT attach a separate document with your comments. Instead, write/reply directly in the thread.
- Always title your post with the name of the article, so people know at a glance your focus.
- Feel free to post articles, images, etc. I might award extra points to clever and relevant links, and I’ve given a couple of examples in the slides that follow Stonehenge in the slideshow. But please – no tired memes or tweets, and absolutely nothing cruel or off-color.
- You get an initial 5 points for writing a post on-topic (as opposed to chatting about your love life, your favorite bands, etc.). You get a further 10 points for writing a coherent and reflective consideration of the chosen topic. This initial post must be at least 220 words (add word count). Using the questions below as a jump-off point, respond to one of these assigned readings.
