Part 2 (2 points): Read the posts of your peers. Choose one classmate and provide additional insight to their post. That insight can be:
a personal experience you share that might provide context for your peers comments
OR you can respectfully disagree and provide a rationale for why disagree
OR  you can add insight by advancing your peer’s point, adding something new and relevant to what the peer shared
Just saying, “Good job” or “Sorry you are dealing with that”, does not count as a response. Try to reply to  one person who does not already have a reply to ensure everyone gets feedback
