Week 7 Discussion

This is where you will write your discussion prompt. Remember that you have use of the full text editor here, so you can include, videos, embedded media, and upload files to support your prompt.

When writing a discussion prompt, you might consider these questions as a guide:

• Are you (perhaps unconsciously) looking for a right answer?
• Is the depth and difficulty appropriate for where the students are in the quarter?
• Does it require students to apply any concepts or principles from the course?
• Does it push students to think about the broader implications of what they are learning?
• Does it ask students to tie the material back to their own experiences?
• Does it prompt students to give a thoughtful response?
• Will this question help build community?

If you plan to use a rubric, it is a good idea to have some language like the example below to remind students how to find the rubric. Unfortunately, it is not that obvious in Canvas.

*Note: I will be using a discussion rubric to grade your initial posts and your responses to other students. To access the rubric, click on the 3 dots in the upper right and choose Show Rubric from the dropdown menu.
