ENG 135 Week 1 Discussion

Tips: Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation each week. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students. Write all discussion posts in your own words to reflect your own learning and thinking on the topics. Do not copy the textbook or other sources in your discussion posts. Also, avoid submitting one big block of writing. Use white space to format your responses and spread out the sections for easier reading. Note: Discussion in online classes must be submitted the same week it is due and can’t be posted early or late.
