What makes a great forum post? What makes a great conversation online?
A great forum post is when either the question or statement makes other people think about it and its not just like a yes or no question that you can answer with two or three words but actually takes time to answer. It should be kind of like the questions in the quizzes and should help us all better understand the book and the different characters, themes, and symbols in it. A comment should fully answer the question and have evidence from the book. A great conversation is composed of different people all talking about the same thing and helping each other better understand something.
What have you contributed to the forums that leads to a positive, productive, helpful way to understand and enjoy the book?
For my first three forums, I commented on two questions and posted a forum (a question). In the comments I added my own opinion into the question about what could happen if Tom found out about Gatsby and Daisy's love. I tried to add things from the book and referring to the chapters we have read as well as the other question I answered about Nick and Jordan ending up together. The question I asked was about how Daisy would react about the "business" Gatsby is in. I think these three forums can help some people further understand the relationships going on in the book.
What can you do to improve your posts as you go?
I think I should probably try to actually use examples from the books like having actual quotes in there to back up what I am saying instead of just referring to the book. I should also probably try to ask questions that might be on the test so that I can further understand something I'm confused about.
