Summarize the post .
For each discussion activity, you are responsible for posting a reply to at least to one postings made by your classmates.
After you have made your original post, read some of the posts from your classmates and construct one reply post of 100-150 words that responds to one of your group-mate’s original posts. Your reply post should be written such that it does one or more of: identifies something that you find especially interesting or insightful about your classmate’s original post; poses an engaging and relevant question and/or builds on the ideas from your classmate’s original post; raises a real-life experience or observation that you feel would be relevant to illustrate or help further develop an idea or point in your classmate’s original post.
Please note that you will need to make an original post before you can read and respond to your peers’ posts.
Some points to keep in mind:
Be clear and to the point in your postings.
Edit your work. Your posts should be coherent and use proper grammar and spelling.
Keep postings to 100-150 words. Quality is better than quantity.
Contribute your own thoughts about the material you have read.
Support your thoughts by referencing the readings used, and references used in postbelow or other outside literature.
Raise additional questions or points of discussion to stimulate further discussion.
If you have questions, show that you have already tried to find a solution.
Respect the viewpoints of your peers. Ask for clarification if you don’t understand a point. Assume good intentions.
Use the proper terminology introduced in the course readings.
When using literature in your postings, make sure to provide references in proper APA Style.
Show respect and sensitivity to peers’ gender, cultural and linguistic background, political, and religious beliefs.
You are strongly encouraged to take the time to review the following documents on writing quality discussion posting and on taking roles in discussions.
Taking a role in online discussion.
Taking a Role in Online Discussions Below are some roles that anyone in an online discussion can fulfill in order to help move an online discussion forward in productive ways. See if you can determine what role is required in your online discussion and then write a message that takes on that role. Devil’s Advocate • Takes opposing points of view to those currently under discussion Pollinator • Travels to other groups, reads their postings and summarizes points made in other groups not made in home group. Facilitator • Comments on the groups process (e.g. “Perhaps we should all remember to put a subject line in our messages.”) • Encourages others to participate, • Starts a thread or an idea on the topic, if the discussion lags. Summarizer / Discussion Weaver • Summarizes the discussion for the group at specific intervals in 1 or 2 short paragraphs. Usually summarizes twice per week or if the discussion lags • Reminds others about what has already been discussed. • Asks the group what issues have been concluded and what ones are still to be discussed. • Relates ideas in posted messages to one another. Researcher • Assumes responsibility for looking at what is available on the net, journals etc. and brings ideas back to the group. Responder • Replies to others and builds on the ideas of others. This is a role that everyone in the group must perform for every discussion.
POST -1
If I was speaking to a friend or relative who was skeptical of the science behind climate change and/or feels overwhelmed that they choose not to read about or even acknowledge it I would take an approach that focuses on buildings a personal connection between the friend or relative and climate change.
Seymour states how Western environmentalism was created from a critique of science. A key finding is that “tactics forged by the left—skepticism about the status of facts, exposure of the problematic motives of scientists—now drive the arguments of the right, evident in positions such as climate change denial” (Seymour, 2018).
I would use Gorman’s teachings that people “have this phenomenal potential to connect the beliefs of the private individual with the cause of change of the public, population, polity, and political movement” to inspire and express climate change (Gorman, 2018). Speaking out in an empowering hopeful way in addressing climate change rather than focusing solely on the negatives and sharing examples of positive successful climate change movements or initiatives. This positive framework approach could help in creating tangible solutions and keep the conversation down to earth instead of just throwing out scary climate change numbers which could create a feeling of overwhelm.
Reflecting on Prof. Hayhoe’s Ted Talk, she mentions the importance of connecting with your audience in building trust and understanding why they are skeptical so we can find a common ground. Katharine mentions how stating facts that these friends or relatives have previously rejected feels like a personal attack and ultimately leads to nowhere (Hayhoe, 2018). Instead, we should be answering questions like why does climate change matter to us? Examples like do we both enjoy the same outdoor activities; do we care about the economy and national security? These answers should be driving the conversation.
