Re: Comments vs. Posts

Hey y'all,

Note that it is possible (and preferable) for you to make your own posts, not just to add your thoughts as a comment.

Use comments to comment on individual posts, to react to the ideas of your classmates.

That said, there are some great posts listed under the "comments" for this assignment (from Amanda, Sophie, Melina).  Make sure you read'em.

As you read others' posts, look for ways that they could communicate their observations more effectively and/or specifically.  Do you have follow-up comments?  Can you help them out with an example they didn't mention?  By the same token, look to see what others are doing well-- can you steal a page from their playbook on your next post?  How can sharing our work with each other help us to sharpen our ideas and analysis?
