Each original posting should be about 150-300 words. Be sure to at LEAST:
Briefly summarize the main argument and supporting evidence of the reading/film. Or, if attending a performance, summarize your experience.
Connect the reading/film/experience to the main themes of the course (see Chapter 1).
Your two responses should substantively engage with the original poster’s ideas, not just agree or disagree. Length is flexible here.
If you quote a source, you must cite the source. MLA (Modern Language Association) style is the standard format for citations in the arts and humanities. Please see http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ (Links to an external site.) for guidelines.
If you express your opinion, give examples of what you like/don’t like, and describe the reasons for your opinion. “I love this,” or “That’s really ugly,” is not sufficient!
You are encouraged to include links to audio or video examples to support your argument.
Avoid inflammatory words and phrases. There are always substitutes you can use. If you disagree with another student’s post, say specifically why. You are free to express your opinion about what they have said, but not to attack the writer. Quoting outside sources (again, cite your sources!) or offering examples will help support your argument.
