Great having so many participate in the discussion online. I hope you continue to see the benefit in the dialogue with your peers & how you can use it to explore unanswered questions & unexamined ideas.
As a reminder, please...
- Carefully proofread your work
- Use the "@" symbol to make it clear to whom you are addressing your comments or questions
- Contextualize each post, question or comment, with a cited quote from the text. Many aren't earning full credit on days they're in the outer circle because they're not rooting their thinking in text.
- Also, please avoid leading questions that ask as they answer.
Here is a great example post from last discussion. I love how the question is thoroughly contextualized and rooted in text, making the origin of Ashley's thinking evident. I love the layers to the questions to that provide many response opportunities.
Ashley said, "Ishmael felt a way that once he got in his tent after the day, he couldn't even sleep because he had time to think and when that happened, he got angry or almost 'taken away' by everything that has happened to him (Page 113). Later on in the book in Chapter 13, after they had their fight and [killed] that man, once the "white capsules" wore off and the lieutenant pulled him out and gave him more of them, do you think that Ishmael realized to not have nightmares anymore or remember anything from his family, that he liked having the drugs help him? Or if he wanted to do more drugs just to fit in with the other guys in the camp?"
Happy posting!
