e3_w2.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 based on something you read in the book Our Hero: Superman on Earth. Your post may include discussion of your own research prompted by reading the book. As usual, your post should focus on something particular that you found interesting, and you may also reference other course readings or the presentation. As with all discussion topics, fellow students should read every post by every student and then respond to some of them, engaging their colleagues in conversation, just as they would if this class met in person.
Based on some aspect of the Superman presentation or the other readings this week (and referring to any relevant research you have done), write a secondary post. As with all discussion topics, fellow students should read every post by every student and then respond to some of them, engaging their colleagues in conversation, just as they would if this class met in person
