Description
This assignment is just a discussion. 2 paragraphs is enough for original discussion. Most students used youtube videos of movies or cartoons to describe and bring examples. I also ask you to write two comments for my schoolmates. 3-4 sentences is enough for each student to comment. You can also see for yourself what they wrote. I uploaded a PDF of 3 students’ discussions, please comment on two. Total of writing must be a full page in single space including original discussion and two comments. Here is the original assignment from the professor.
