*Once you have posted to the discussion board please comment on at least 5 classmates’ post. Since your classmates’ post will include responses to multiple questions you may choose which question you respond to. As always, please be respectful and open-minded with your responses.
Once you have responded to the prompts and also to 5 of your classmates within the discussion board, put all of what you have wrote on one document and submit this through the related Turnitin link. You do not need a cover page, header, title, etc. Since you are submitting this through the Turnitin link, I already know who it is from. The first sentence should be the start of your response. Please do not include the question. You can include the question numbers though.
Respond to each student response with 100 words paragraph. Write the response in first person as if you the one responding directly. ( Student responses are attached)
