Guideline for Blog Post Responses

Guideline for Blog Post Responses

Your goal for responding to the posts of your classmates should be to add to the direction of their responses by elaborating on the evidence they have given, or to offer an alternative idea or concern. You do not need to weaken the arguments in your classmates' blogs. Above all else you should be respectful and polite, in other words, watch your tone. While you may offer some amendments, please do so with tact and respect. Your response should be written in a well-written paragraph of approximately seven sentences.

New Blog Post Topic

Write a three-paragraph blog post in which you argue for against the following statement:
"It was the mother's responsibility to intervene in her daughter's life as she did."
In your post, you should express your point personal point of view and provide strong arguments to support it. Include specific references from the story.
