ORGANIZE YOUR POST

1. Make sure that you always organize your post into paragraph format with 200+ words.

2. Create a conversational flow (e.g. talking to someone) with a scholarly tone (i.e. no text talk or slang, spell and grammar check always using a tool such as Grammarly, etc.).

NEXT STEPS

2. Make sure your peer response is 100+ words and uses a conversational flow with a scholarly tone.

3. The goal of your peer post is to move the conversation forward by substantially responding and possibly asking a follow-up question to further the conversation.
