Order Description
This assignment is aimed to demonstrate your reading comprehension and your critical thinking abilities.
The posts should be carefully written: clear, concise, without grammar or spelling errors.

300-350 words each, or longer.
-Explain how the text you are commenting on relates to the reading that will be presented in course. My lectures will be based on the readings that are not marked with an asterisk.
(e.g.) week 5: how does Kosnick’s article relate to Georgiou’s contribution? Do you notice any connecting points/ any differences?
-Illustrate the text with a personal experience, but please keep in mind that your input should not outweigh the reading discussion. Aim at this proportion: 2/3 reading discussion, 1/3 personal example.
-Situate the text in a social or historical context (shift from a narrow to a broader perspective).
-Identify an idea that you disagree with and explain why your perspective is
different.
-Respond to a colleague’s post: build on it, disagree with it, examine it from a
different perspective.
