Using the material you have read (see above), make three analytical posts to the Discussion Board Forum. When citing, you can use MLA or Chicago Manuel of style to cite any sources used – just make sure you give credit to any source you quote or draw from! You do not need a bibliography – simply put your citation at the end of your post. Remember that concision, clarity, and specifics always trump wordiness, ambiguity, and imprecision. Be respectful! Use facts over opinion and emotion in your post.
As you develop your posts, you should address the following:
1. Describe the Texas State of Mind.
2. How is the Texas identity changing along with changing demographics in the 21st century?
3. How do you think the Texas identity and mystique will be characterized a century from now?
Please remember that effective posts should not be burdened by excess opinion or emotion. Make factual statements, draw evidence-based conclusions, and live by this quote from President John Adams: “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”
