Instructions: 1. Write a paragraph (10 lines minimum) where you respond to the discussion prompt. Refer to specific ideas and passages from the readings to support your point. 2. Respond to one other student (7 lines minimum) where you comment on specific passages in the student's post. 3. Extra points for replies (5 lines) to other student's comments on your posts.
