Discussion Posts
1. Write an original post for the Discussion Board.
Announce your topic for the Synthesis Essay. See the assignment instructions for a list of
topic choices.
Write about one idea that is discussed by at least two or more authors. (Note: This similar
idea might end up being a topic sentence in one body paragraph of your Synthesis Essay.
Read and carefully take notes on these sources, as the similar idea should be one you can
develop into a full paragraph.) In at least 5-8 sentences, explain the similar idea, and
explain how the authors discuss it. You might also note any differences the authors have
as they discuss this idea.
2. Respond to least two of your classmates’ posts. Answer the following questions.
Does your classmate discuss at least two sources from Inquiry?
Does your classmate note a clear idea that is shared by at least two sources?
Do you have any suggestions for your classmate?
