Week 1 Discussion Forum

Main Post #1

Answer the following questions based on this week's reading (250 word minimum). Then, pose a question for your classmates about the content of the reading. Your options are either “Guys vs. Men” by Dave Barry (pp. 940-6) or "Does Texting Affect Writing?" by Michaela Cullington (pp. 129-136). 

Written Text

What is the thesis? Is the thesis implied or stated? If it is stated, provide a quotation from the text, including proper APA documentation.  If it is implied, do your best to write a one-sentence thesis for the text. Does the thesis engage you as a reader? Why or why not?

For Your Peer Responses:

Respond meaningfully to one or more of your peers' posts.  Encouragement is welcome but try to do more than simply agree with their choice. Ask a question, offer suggestions,  share an example, or comment on the thesis or message. Minimum 150 words.

Requirements:

• For full participation credit, a minimum of three posts must occur on two or more days during the active week.
• All posts must include word count at the end of the post.
• Posts discussing written texts should include quotes with APA in-text citation and reference.
• See rubric for full assessment of discussion posts.
