Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

This week you read about commonly misused words, using commons, colons, and semicolons, punctuating quotations, and the difference between active and passive voice when writing. As you consider your own writing abilities, what do you see as you biggest challenge with writing as a journalist? What can you do to improve your writing skills? How do you feel about other people reading what you write?

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.
