Your post should be thorough yet concise ranging between 500-700 words (1-1.5 pages, single-spaced). You may also connect your response to previous lectures and readings, or build on other classmates posts to further enrich your argument. These low-stakes writing assignments are designed to facilitate reflection on your learning and deepen your conceptual understanding.
1. A summary in no more than three sentences of the main points of each assigned reading.
2. 2-3 direct quotes from the readings that you found most compelling, thought-provoking, controversial, or perplexing. Explain why.
3. 2-3 questions arising from the reading. These should be questions that emerged for you while reading or in connection to class discussion. Describe how you came to raise these questions and make direct references to the readings (direct quotes and/or page numbers).
