Extender, applying the author's principles to future situations

Descriptions of these roles are found below. Once you've decided, then make your initial post in the appropriate thread (skeptic, reflector, validator, or extender). If there are already five (5) persons in that thread, please choose another one. Do not start your own thread.

Skeptic – Challenge some items in the reading. Be specific about what you disagree with and provide substantive evidence (logic, examples, or even research). Here's a way to start your post: "I disagree with many points in the article because…"

Reflector – Think about the concepts set forth in the reading as they relate to your own experiences or those of others. Be specific about your observations, explaining how you have reached your conclusions. Here's a way to start your post: "Reading this article makes me think of a class I took last year…"

Validator – Support some items in the reading. Be specific about which points you agree with, explaining why you do. Provide evidence. Here's a way to start your post: "I agree with many of the author's points, such as…"

Extender – Show how the concepts might be applied in future situations. You may focus on both positive and negative ramifications. Be specific as you extend the conversation. Here's a way to start your post: "This article made me wonder how the concepts might be applied to…"

Responding to Others

Ask for clarification about why the student chose the role he/she did. Provide additional evidence for that role or another one.

Try using one of these roles (skeptic, reflector, validator, or extender) in your responses.
