    Approximately 150 words, addressed to everybody in the group and submitted by Wednesday, February 17, 6:30 p.m. (U.S. EST). To preserve the conversational structure of the discussion, please provide a greeting and signature with each message, naming the group or person to whom you are writing and signing each letter.

    • Before you compose your second comment, read all the submissions prior to yours and any second comments already posted by members of your group. In your second comment, addressed to your entire group, refer specifically to at least two members of the group by name, attempting to cite at least two groupmates whose first submissions have not already been cited by others if possible. Please respond to at least one person not in your class.

    • In your second comment, identify and explain how one or more keywords and reflective comments by groupmates contributed to your understanding of the article. Comment on ways in which their interpretations are similar to and/or different from your own. Attempt to answer another group-mate's question about the article, and offer possible solutions. Your solution MUST CITE AN OUTSIDE SOURCE. Only one citation of an outside source is required. Make sure to cite in proper MLA format. You should use this source to either further an argument or answer a question.

    Letter/Comment 3
    Approximately 100 words, addressed to everybody in the group and submitted by Wednesday, November 24th, 6:30 p.m. (U.S. EST). To preserve the conversational structure of the discussion, please provide a greeting and signature with each message, naming the group or person to whom you are writing and signing each letter.

    1. First, read the second comments and any additional comments already posted by members of your group. Compose a personal response about some of the ideas and opinions presented there, citing by name at least two groupmates whose second submissions have not already been cited by others if possible. Please respond to at least one person not in your same class.

    2. Second, either find another article online that comments on your assigned article, or find an article, photo, or video that addresses aspects of the issue your article discusses. DO NOT simply post a Wikipedia article on the subject - there is AMPLE information to help you expand your conversations. You will need to locate or post this additional representation online so your partners can access it on the Web; post a link to the article you are using. If you find a photo, for example, post a link to the photo).

    3. Third, explain fully the relationship between the representation you have selected and your thoughts as to how it relates to the initial article assigned to you and your group.

    Global Warming

    What can we do about Global Warming? It is destroying our atmosphere and the main cause of it is CO2 along with other gases like nitrous oxide and methane seem to be doin damage too. Cars are the greatest CO2 causes and we can do things to help such as drive less, turn electricity off when not being used, or using the light bulbs that save energy , things like that. I wanted to know if we didn’t use much energy how would the earth be today and how would it improve things? I believe that if more people wanted to fix our environmental problems , then that would change a a lot of things in the world today.
