Respond to the Discussion Spark by Day 2. Your response marks your entrance into this week’s Discussion area. While you are not required to respond to your colleagues’ Discussion Spark responses, you are encouraged to read them.
Finding Your Voice
As you know, you will be discussing your case study with classmates on dedicated Discussion threads. However, if you are alone in your case study choice, you can post to other threads as well, but please be sure to post your main response under your case study thread. No doubt there will be a wide range of focus areas and different opinions reflected in discussion, and that is great. You learn more when you consider different opinions than when everyone is in full agreement. The challenge, beginning this week, is to distill (from a wide-ranging discussion) those points that are most useful to your own thesis and the persuasive essay you are about to write. Take what is of value to you, leave the rest behind, and try to give as much to your colleagues as you draw from them.

Write a 250-word persuasive paragraph addressing this failing characteristic and how it can best be fixed. Include specific examples from this week’s Case Study 3 (Education) Resources within your paragraph.
By Day 6
Respond to the main post of at least one colleague. Your response should be a minimum of 100 words and should be significant and substantial. What does this mean, you may ask? You want a response that gets your classmates thinking and, hopefully, responding to you as well. You may consider asking a question. You may point out a different aspect of conversation, one that your classmate did not address. You may disagree gently and respond with an alternative idea of your own, keeping in mind that mutually respectful discourse is expected. Everyone does not all have to agree, but everyone does have to disagree respectfully.
Additionally, you are encouraged to interact with your Instructor and colleagues by participating actively and often in discussion beyond what is minimally required through Day
