An initial post is your first response to a question posed by the instructor.
- Answer the question
- Do this first if possible. Provide a clear answer to the question (incorporating some of the wording of the question in your answer if possible).
- Give evidence
- Provide an explanation for your point of view, and use evidence from your text, notes, or outside research (where appropriate) to support your point.
Explain the connection- Make sure to describe how your evidence proves your point. Don’t assume it’s obvious.
Your post might also introduce a question or idea that others can follow up on. But make sure you have answered the initial question first!
