Before completing the discussion board, students must watch the Defectors Documentary that is on the Animal Farm page of my website. After watching the video, students must respond to the following prompt (two paragraph minimum):
Paragraph 1 should focus on... What are the significant issues in North Korea, which are emphasized by this film? What is your initial reaction to them? Paragraph 2 should focus on... How is Orwell's novel, Animal Farm, figuratively represent the real problems that North Koreans are facing? Explain. In addition to posting a two paragraph response, all students enrolled in the honors level must also provide at least one insightful, educated, scholarly response to another students' post (students who opted out of honors are welcome to post on other posts but are not required). There is no length requirement for the response, but it must contribute/add to the conversation that is happening through the discussion board posts. **Note: Because this discussion board requires two paragraphs, it will be worth more points than previous ones.

DirectionsWhen given a discussion board assignment, students should post their contribution by commenting on the post that shows the current topic. Students are expected to post their own response to the prompt as well as post on another student's response (students enrolled in academic sections do not have to post on other students' posts). All posts should be thoughtful and should contribute to the overall discussion board. When replying to someone else's post, please be sure to click "reply" under their post. Do not post a whole new post when trying to comment on another student's paragraph. ArchivesCategories |
