I need help to complete the discussion board for my literature and Caribbean
here is the instructions
you need read this until page number five and just write about the reading and also leave a question that is interesting in the end.
For all Discussion Board Posts:
To learn as much as possible (and fulfill the requirements for the post), follow these guidelines:
• Post a substantial and clear response within the module indicated. (200 words, minimum)
• Include specific details, examples and quotes from the assigned readings.
• Offer an original interpretation of the evidence provided. Rely on your ideas!
• Include a discussion question for students to answer/ think about.
• Agree with classmates’ arguments or challenge their posts in a constructive a respectful and constructive manner; answer classmates’ question(s).
• Post a minimum of two replies, one reply to two different students’ posts.
At the end of your post, include a discussion question to your classmates.
In your discussion question to the class and in your answer to your classmates’ questions:
- focus on the reading–the goal is to get the class to interpret what we all read, read between the lines, ask each other how you understood xyz or what xyz symbolizes or how it relates to one of the class topics.
- Hypothetical questions and generic questions will not count as discussion questions. For example, do not ask: What would happen if…? Why do you think this person decided to do…..? What do you think about what this person did….?
- Take your time to write a thoughtful and relevant question. You can refer to a specific page in the chapter, and a specific concept from the lecture. For example, you can ask: On page …. what does Reyita reveal about….? On page …. what did you learn about…. in the Caribbean? When this person said/did …. is it an example of the impact of colonialism? Is ….. an example of …. in the reading about the Caribbean?
- Stay focused on the content (the information revealed) or the form (how the story is told).
- Steer clear of comments about how the story makes you feel; or your personal judgement of the characters; or generic comments about the Caribbean.
- Be specific – refer to a particular part of the reading.
Here is a video with instructions on basic instructions for all of the discussion boards in this course.
Here is a video for Module 2 Discussion Board (#2 DB) instructions. Module 2 Discussion Board (#2 DB) instructions. Read the reading for today’s module (first 5pp) and the lecture for Module 2 – Introduction to the Caribbean and write a post answering the questions at the end of the lecture, also below.
Answer as many questions as you can in a response of a minimum of 200 words.
Refer to specific parts of the reading – refrain from personal, generic, hypothetical remarks.
For your post, follow the instructions in the participation rubric (further below, in the module, and in Course Information).
- If the Caribbean was a space that was imagined, invented, made up, covering up the people who lived there…. According to the reading, how do individuals in the Caribbean shape their identities? How much of it is based on a foreigner’s image of where they are from?
- What does the reading reveal about how representations of the Caribbean were made up?
- Based on what is presented in the reading, how possible was it for local Caribbean individuals to develop their own sense of community – what worked against this possibility?
- What values were promoted as the Caribbean was found, and as new nations were founded, and as new economies were established?
- What do the facts in the reading reveal about Caribbean society, history, economy, and peoples?
