Read each question — there may be more than one.
Post your responses in the appropriate threads. Students are required to make their initial post by Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. (PST).
Responses should be at least 1 to 2 paragraphs in length.
Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings with EACH question for a total of 2 responses. Responses are due by Saturday at 11:59 p.m. (PST).
Review your postings to see who has responded to you.
Be sure to answer ALL QUESTIONS.
Best approach: Just “talk ” to your fellow students. Have a conversation. If you do not count how many times you connect with your fellow students, you will give more than adequate responses. Prompt discussion, not make a simple comment, such as “good work!” There will be no credit for such responses that end rather than foster discussion. Address fellow students with respect and acceptance that there may be a variety of personal views.
Example of a full credit response:
“Hi Jen. I agree with part of what you had to say about what constitutes exigency in this situation. I don’t think the officers had to leave and get a warrant. I see your point but I am concerned about what would happen when the officers leave. I think the law allows them to stay at the house to be sure the occupants do not flee. The officers can try to get a warrant over the phone. If in the process they hear something that sounds suspicious like destroying evidence they should be able to call it an emergency and go through the door! What do you think about that?”
Example of no credit response: “Way to go Jen!”
Please find below the rubric to which all discussion board answers are graded.

Directions:
Nearly all scholarly writing makes an argument. That’s because its purpose is to create and share new knowledge so it can be debated in order to confirm, dis-confirm, or improve it. That arguing takes place mostly in journals and scholarly books and at conferences. It’s called the scholarly conversation, and it’s that conversation that moves forward what we humans know.
Your scholarly writing for classes should do the same—make an argument—just like your professors’ journal article, scholarly book, and conference presentation writing does. (You may not have realized that the writing you’re required to do mirrors what scholars all over the university, country, and world must do to create new knowledge and debate it. Of course, you may be a beginner at constructing arguments in writing, while most professors have been at it for some time. And your audience (for now) also may be more limited than your professor’s. But the process is much the same. As you complete your research assignments, you, too, are entering the scholarly conversation.
Making an argument means trying to convince others that you are correct as you describe a thing, situation, relationship, or phenomenon and/or persuade them to take a particular action. Important not just in college, that skill will be necessary for nearly every professional job you hold after college. So learning how to make an argument is good job preparation, even if you do not choose a scholarly career.

Topic As no small number of the critics we have encountered this semester suggest, the monster—in
whatever shape, size, or other guise it appears—is a valuable cultural interpretive tool that can tell us as
much about ourselves as it can the society that we live in. The monster may even tell us about the values
that the society we live in wishes to inculcate in us, and the monster can even alert us to the dangers or
problems inherent in these supposedly neutral or positive values. In a well-developed essay exploring any
combination of visual cultural forms (film, television, music videos, advertisements, etc.) trace the
genealogy of a specific monster over time and discuss the various ways in which it has reflected,
critiqued, or commented upon personal and/or social anxieties connected to a specific time and place.
