Welcome to your The Edible Woman discussion! This discussion will
take the place of the traditional questions for your outside reading novel this
quarter. I want to see a well-developed discussion here--one that would mimic
the type we would have in class. Your outside reading grade will be based on
this discussion, so please take it seriously and comment the way you would in
class.
Your discussions can (and should) be varied, with several
topics being discussed at the same time. You can comment on a topic that
someone else has posted, or you can start your own. Each person is responsible
for posting AT LEAST 10 well developed comments for this discussion. This means
that you cannot read someone's post and just say, "I totally agree with John . . ." If you agree with someone, you need to explain why. You will
need to include your idea and back it up with examples from the novel that
support what you are saying. Remember, you are being graded on this!
At least ONE of those 10 posts needs to be a discussion
starter, meaning that you are the one initiating the topic. You can piggy back off of someone else’s
ideas, but you cannot only comment on what other people are saying. Dare to disturb the universe with your own
ideas! :)
Please remember your manners if/ when you disagree with
someone! Happy discussing!
