Each student must contribute a posting to the discussion that develops understanding of the assigned book with ideas based upon the in-depth reading and engagement of assigned reading material. Discussion postings must be unique to that student’s required posting and cannot be reused for future analytical essays. Additionally, each discussion posting must not repeat what’s already been said in other postings. Each posting is worth a maximum of 5 points and will be evaluated upon these criteria:
a minimum of 300 words
invoke original thought
use of citational support from the text as supporting evidence for ideas explored in the posting
develop each student’s independent written analysis of ideas from the text
