Follow these steps to write the discussion response:

2. Find a classmate who has not received a response to his/her post yet. You CANNOT respond to an original post which has already received a response if there are still some posts that have not received a response.

3. Just as you would during a spoken discussion, write what your think about the ideas of your classmate. You can add more ideas to the points that your classmate has made or write a different opinion in a polite manner.

* The response to each post should be 100-150 words long.

/////I can send you other classmates’ posts after I receive the Original Discussion Post. To avoid the second rule from part 2 (You CANNOT respond to an original post that has already received a response). I would like to receive the comments in a few hours. Thank you./////
