Discussion Mod. 13-14
This discussion board is worth 20 points. There are 2 parts to this discussion board. To answer the questions, you should write a solid paragraph for each of your responses and you should use and cite examples from the course materials in the Week 13 module and Week 14 module. Please be sure to also respond to your classmate’s posts by Tuesday night. When you can, use examples (evidence) to support your claims in your discussion posts. If you use an exact quote, MLA-style citations are fine: (Sanchez, 89) or (Zinn, 432) works. Be sure to save your work before submitting your responses to the discussion board. You can also review the grading rubric for discussion boards if you like.
