Each student will submit a short post with a brief comment on the readings/audiovisual resources. Students will submit a total of four forums by the time/dates they are due.This means that you will select four out of the fourteen modules that you would like to respond to during the semester.
You may write comments regarding observations from what the authors are presenting, questions in the forum,connections between the audiovisual resources and the readings.
You may use 3 sentences at the beginning or end of your post to discuss personal connections or responses to the materials—you liked it, you hated it, it reminded you of something in your life, etc. The rest of your post should respond in a considered and scholarly way to the materials. In your forum response/comment, address the questions posed, and be sure to reference materials specifically, so that we know what you are referring to. Keep your post focused on thinking critically about the materials. Aim for a minimum of a one page response.
You can also include in your response/comment something new: a screenshot of a Tweet, a link for a news article, a video that is related to our module topic, a photograph, and include with this your own analysis interconnected with the readings and audiovisual resources for that specific module.
