Q Please respond to the main idea posed by this video. Start with the video's argument (controlling idea) and then take a stand on it. Begin by posing a sentence, which begins with a statement summarizing the video's argument in one sentence (e.g., "This video's main argument is (fill this in)." Follow that with your opinionated take--your thesis--on the piece's message, indicating what's correct or incorrect, accurate or inaccurate, helpful or not about the message, in one sentence (e.g., "However, this idea is only partly correct, because of the fact that (fill this in)"). Next, support your position with reference to the video, itself, as well as drawing from your own experience. Make this, your initial post, about 250 words. FYI, beginning with your next post (not this first one, as an exception), you will see that you will usually also be required to choose two other students' posts to respond to (about 150 words each). Whenever you post--and this will be true all term--remember to be specific and to support what you say with evidence from the text.
