Do you agree or disagree with their assessment of the reading/perspectives? Why? Is there something your colleague missed that would help inform his/her post? Do you have questions that are unanswered after reading their post? Have we/you read another article that offers different insight into the topic? If so, how would that author feel about your classmate’s post?
- Participation in VoiceThread Roleplay: Provide feedback to your assigned classmate on how he/she did with providing constructive feedback based on the steps noted in table 8.2.
