e3_w10.docxA Primary Post might be thought of as a mini-essay. It may be written in a conversational style, but should be well-written and be supported by specific references to the texts, lectures, other readings, or your own research. It should explore the topic and respond to the prompt in some way. It does not have to be a complete essay with a thesis statement and it doesn’t have to reach definitive conclusions, but it should have some point. Primary posts should be approximately 300-500 words long.
A Secondary Post can be shorter, approximately 250 words. Instead of thinking of it as a mini-essay, perhaps think of it as the opening statement in a conversation.
Write a primary post about one of the two assigned prose fiction readings for this week ("Message from the Bubblegum Factory" or Escape Clause excerpt). Consider whatever aspects you want, including, of course, how the work depends on or challenges expectations of a superhero story.
Write a secondary post about any topic or adaptation mentioned in the presentation, referring to whatever outside research you find. Or, write a secondary post about the prose fiction piece that was assigned that you did not write about for your primary post ("Message from the Bubblegum Factory" or Escape Clause excerpt). Or, write about any of the other readings this week.
