Your initial post should include a summary of the event or topic, its relationship with our learning in this course, and the location of the source material. The intent is to begin a discussion about the material that will enhance learning about the topics in this course. In the unlikely event that you choose a topic that someone else simultaneously posts, that is fine. Do check to see what topic threads are already being discussed before you select your topic.
To help us follow each event "thread," each new current event should be a primary post. All responses to it should be posted as a reply. In your replies, strive to examine the event from the perspective of the topics in this course.
