Ashford 6: - Week 5 - Discussion 2

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.
 

     

Forming   Questions Based on Critical Reading

 

Prepare: Prior to beginning your initial   post, read the handout, How to Ask an   Open-Ended Question.   In addition, review your initial response to the Clugston (2014) quote from   Week One: “There’s a powerful curiosity about human relationships and how to   cope in the world in which we find ourselves.” (Section 1.1, para. 2).

 

Reflect: In this discussion, you will   reflect on what you learned in the course by practicing the skill of asking   an open ended academic question. This exercise will allow you to engage in a   discussion you create with your peers. It also helps you to ask your own   questions about literature, which can serve as a gateway to initiating   critical analysis. Think of an open-ended question about literature that you   would like to ask in order to challenge your classmates to reflect more   deeply. Also, reflect on your initial response to the Clugston quote.    How have your feelings about literature changed or remained the same?

 

Write: Your initial post should be at   least 200 words in length. The minimum word count does not include   references.

• Construct an open-ended        question (see How to Ask an        Open-Ended Question handout)        to ask your peers about the literature you read in the class. Avoid        asking closed-end questions that require a “yes” or “no” answer. The        question should not be overly broad or too general, but focus on        specific literary conflicts, techniques, or themes.
• Share what you learned by        reading your peers’ posts throughout the class.
• Discuss your initial response        to the Clugston (2014) quote from Week One. Based on what you learned        about literature, what has changed? How will these changes impact your        perspective on literature?

Respond to Peers: Respond to at least two of your   classmates’ initial posts by Day 7. Each response should be at least 75 words   in length and you should attempt to answer the questions posed by your   classmates. Additionally, reflect on how you and your classmates have   progressed throughout the course. Also note similarities or differences you   see between how you and your classmates respond to the Clugston quote now   versus at the beginning of the course.
