Most units, you are required to post your own responses before you can see your classmates' responses.

Your unit discussion responses are graded not only for accuracy but also for creativity and insight. See the Grading and Assessment page for more details.Due Dates: Your initial (first) post is due no later than Thursday Noon Central Standard Time (CST), with the expectation that you will return between Thursday and Sunday to converse with your peers.Assessment: See the Grading and Assessment content item under Course Information.For all references, use an appropriate form of documentation (MLA, APA, or another standard academic style discussed in Easy Writer.)Discussion TopicWe will use this discussion to generate and respond to working thesis statements for Essay #2.Greene and Lidinsky present four helpful models for formulating a working thesis:The Misinterpretations model: "Although many have argued X, a careful examination suggests Z."The Gap model: "Although others have noted X, they have overlooked the importance of Y."The Modification model: "Although I agree with the X and Y ideas of other writers, it is important to extend/refine/limit their ideas in this way..."The Hypothesis-testing model: "While some writers explain X by suggesting Y, a close analysis of the problem reveals several competing explanations…"These thesis models are certainly not the only options available to you, but they do offer ways to enter an academic conversation and make a contribution that extends beyond merely summarizing or echoing someone else's ideas.In your initial post, do the following:Use two of the thesis models above to craft two potential working thesis statements you could use in this unit's essayWrite a paragraph or so defining the audience you plan to write your essay to.
