After you have completed the readings, and before reviewing your classmates’ responses, add your initial post that fully answers the discussion board question(s). Your initial post should be supported by your course materials and/or other appropriate resources. This initial post and your additional responses to classmates should occur over multiple days throughout the unit week. Refer to your Discussion Rubric for specific grading criteria.
Go to the online edition of a national magazine or newspaper such as Time, Newsweek, National Geographic, U.S. News & World Report, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, or USA Today. Locate and review an article that uses different types of support.
- Provide basic information about the article and identify the organizational pattern that was used. Include a link so your classmates can review it, name of the publication, and title of the article. Do not post the entire article.
- List examples of a fact, opinion, expert or peer testimony, a statistic, and a comparison from the article. For one of these examples, review the “think critically” groups of questions in the reading and explain which of the questions you think are the most relevant to the article.
- Were the materials effective or ineffective? Did they maintain credibility?
- Is there any bias evident in the article? Did the writing include opposing viewpoints?
