In general, remember the following for all 6 links above: provide 2-3 reactions or comments to lessons learned and facts or insights they provide -– here our learning target focuses on content. What important facts did you learn? What helpful details did you pull from each video? If it’s a short or comical link, what amused you and why? Focus on your interpretation, not what goes on, but what you think and why.
Use your original words and ideas throughout. Do not use any references or previous essays. The prof uses plagiarism software such as Turn It In.
