Purpose Each module unit takes the task of writing a good essay and breaks it down into smaller steps. In this discussion, we will share our thoughts on our readings for this unit by relating the contents to our experiences and prior knowledge. By sharing our interpretations on the readings, we will generate ideas for a good Essay thesis. Doing so will be the first step in drafting a good essay final draft since a strong thesis tells the reader what the essay’s main argument will be. In our discussion, you will also asked to support your thesis ideas with evidence from our assigned texts for this module. That evidence will also serve to help you put together a comprehensive outline for your essay in the next assignment.

Discussion Formatting and Other Important Tips Main posts should be titled “Main Post” to distinguish them from replies Paragraph formatting: Divide your post into separate paragraphs. Skip a blank line between paragraphs, and do not indent paragraphs (e.g. business letters). Make sure to answer all parts of Dr. Kwa’s instructions for each discussion. Avoid recopying Dr. Kwa’s questions and writing in a question and answer format. Write in well-organized complete paragraphs. Must show language respectful of other students and Dr. Kwa. Disagreement is fine; hurtful language is not. Flaming posts will be immediately deleted from the forum. Must be proofread and reasonably grammatically correct. I recommend that you first write your post in Microsoft Word, save it, and then cut and paste it into the forum. Remember to capitalize “I,” beginnings of sentences, proper nouns etc. Use proper punctuation, including periods at end of sentences. Avoid all capitalized letters in words since this looks like screaming in written form. Avoid run-ons and fragments. Avoid abbreviations used typically when texting or writing casual emails. Always spell-check. https://epicheroism.wordpress.com/home/the-female-hero/ https://www.paleothea.com/SortaSingles/Artemis.html https://www.greeka.com/greece-myths/amazons/ https://www.paleothea.com/Myths/Atalanta.html https://owlcation.com/humanities/Demeter-and-Persephone https://ancient-literature.com/greece_euripides_medea/ https://womeninantiquity.wordpress.com/2018/11/26/zenobia/
