The thread you start must include two key parts:
1) what you consider to be the two most important aspects covered in the chapter. I am really looking for you to elaborate on these ideas while citing support. Be prepared to defend what you write because I may question why you chose the topics you did as most important; and
2) something new related to the material you read. I want you to come up with ideas that you observe in your life or come across in a newspaper, magazine, internet, conversation, etc. I encourage you to include links to websites or attach material that might be relevant. At the end of each chapter there are several topics listed under ‘Think about it'.
You may base this part of your post on any of those questions if you are having trouble with coming up with ideas. Posts are expected to be 400 - 500 words in length and be explicit about the two key parts.
