3. In this discussion forum, answer the following question: What are the two most useful pieces of information you took from each chapter reading (two from Ch. 1, two from Ch. 2, and two from Ch. 3 from Reading Literature and Writing Argument)?
1. When stating what was useful, be sure to elaborate upon your points and use specific points from the readings to illustrate from. Since discussion journals are graded for completion only (meaning, if all instructions are followed you receive a 100%, use this chance to focus on the development of your ideas. When completing journals such as this, be sure to tell, show, and elaborate upon each point you are discussing. (Tell what specific piece from the reading was helpful; show an example of that point by relating specifically to the reading; and then elaborate upon your point by stating its importance, etc.) A simple formula such as “tell/show/elaborate” helps to craft stronger writers and critical thinkers alike.
