Today is our day to answer the discussion board questions. Some things that I noticed from last week’s posts that you need to watch out for:

• Answer all parts of the questions – if it’s a two parter, you can embed the two answers, butt make sure they are both answered.
• Many of the answers lack specificity – PROVE it with examples!
• Don’t assume the audience has any background with your novel/example. Some of my best responses have come from students who wrote using YA novels – because they KNEW that I probably have not read the stories. You don’t have to give me an entire plot summary, but I need to have enough background knowledge so that your answer makes sense. Use the author as a model!
