Literature
Make sure you have read through the material and links in the Module 2: Literary Analysis prior to particiating in Discussion 1.
Your assignment is to post your ideas about what you have read, what you understand and don’t understand. Post a question. Answer a question. Whatever it takes to make sure you understand the idea of a literary analysis. You need to get a conversaton going about the material in this module. You may need to come back to the discussion more than one time, spend time reading through what other students have posted, and respond to what you have read.
I’m looking for at least 4 useful posts from each of you, one “initial thread” that you start yourself and at least 3 replies to someone else’s posting. Develop your ideas in the intial thread so that they are clear to the other students reading your posts.
Directions:
- Preparation: Read the directions for the discussion board to find out what to write about.
- Write: Every discussion that you write should adhere to the length requirements. “New Threads” should be 150-200 in length. After you submit your new thread, you will be able to read the other students’ posts. Reply to at least three other students to earn full credit for the assignment. Replies should be 30 – 50 words. Also, don’t forget to include the Honor Code (See Ground Rule #4 in the syllabus) at the end of “New Posts.” Be sure to separate it from the post itself.
- Grading: The number of posts and replies you need to get credit are shown in the Grading table below. Keep in mind that the grades in the chart assume that your “new thread” and “replies” satisify the length criteria in #2 above.
