Submit your response to the discussion board in a 300-500 word narrative. Your response should clearly relate to the aspect of both questions and an understanding of the required readings.  Be sure to apply the concepts you've learned in a meaningful way.

Afterwards, submit two-three 100-200 word responses to your classmates’ postings. Your response should explore ideas and provide constructive responses. Be sure to interact with all of your classmates during the term.

In total, you should have a minimum of 3 posts for the week.
