1) a summary of what you read, identifying the main argument, terms and theories introduced by the author, and 2) space where you can think about the readings and document your reaction(s) to them. Since these are discussions/reflections, you do not need to adhere to all of the formalities of a paper. That said, the discussion posts should be well thought-out, fully developed and carefully written. Each reader response should demonstrate not only that you have carefully read the text(s ), but also that you have thought deeply about the text(s ) and engaged with them in some way. Be specific about the work you’re discussing, provide details from the text to back up any assertions you may make by quoting directly from the text, and finally, pay attention to grammar and mechanism, and APA style.
