SAMPLE LAYOUT FOR DB1
In any writing, you want to try to create a 3-part-structure: introduction, body, and closing. This flow helps to make ideas clearer, and it resembles the traditional layout that the world is familiar with. Furthermore, especially in personal message or emails, it helps to establish niceties and politeness that can go a long way in putting people at ease.
See the suggested layout for the Discussion Board 1 Introduction/Analysis post below. You will see that the personal introduction is broken into 3 parts and the analysis section below that is broken into three parts as well. While you do not have to follow this layout exactly, this is what I will be expecting as a general layout for your DB1 initial post in our classroom discussion. All of the content below will go into one post: the initial post. Do not make 2 separate posts for this first part of the discussion board assignment. Once you have made your initial post, you can then begin reviewing what your classmates have posted and attempt to complete the second part of this assignment: the peer response post.
