Online discussion for Feb 9 Snow Day

As we somewhat expected, today is a snow day.  However, rather than getting behind, I am going to post 5 different questions/topics/points related to this week's reading, and we'll discuss these online.  Here is how I envision this working:

1)  I do NOT expect you to simply answer the specific questions I raise.  The questions are to get you thinking, so that you can post some relevant thoughts about the topic.

2) I DO expect each of you to participate in at least 3 of the 5 discussion threads.  You can choose which ones, and you can address an issue that I brought up in the questions, raise a relevant question/discussion, or respond to a classmate's question.

3)  I do NOT expect that you will write the equivalent of an essay for any of these.  I DO expect that you will write something that shows you have thought about the relevant topic - this will probably require a bare minimum of one paragraph, and probably several.

4) Ideally, each student will have completed their participation no later than classtime on Monday.

Lemme know if you have questions!
