Initial Post Instructions and Requirements:

1. Choose one of these Discussion post
2. Formulate an organized, clearly worded, and succinct initial post that substantively covers all discussion points stated for your chosen topic. Because your initial post will be scored on the degree to which you meet these standards, there is no set minimum word requirement. However, there is a set maximum word requirement – confine your initial post to 500 words. Remember that we are all reading each other’s posts, and one that is succinctly written is more likely to be read and responded to, thus furthering our discussion on that topic.
3. Include at least one graphic, video, or image that visually adds to some aspect of your post – as they say, pictures are worth 1000 words! To upload an image to the discussion, you can attach the image, or embed it directly into the discussion post.
4. Post your initial post by the 4th day of the module week. You will not be able to see any posts until you post your initial post.
