Overview
Book Discussion 9: Islands on Dry Land
- This week we will be looking at Chapter 9: Islands on Dry Land of the book "The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History" by Elizabeth Kolbert.
- Your weekly assignment will be divided into two parts. The first part will consist of your summary submission, with at least five bullet points that best represent the chapter. The second part will involve a weekly online class discussion, which is what you are doing here. These discussions will help you look further into these key points, clarify questions with your peers, and share aspects of the chapter that caught your attention.
- Please see this two-part weekly assignment as a study opportunity for your exams, as these chapters are part of your exam content.
- You must first respond to the topic before viewing other replies.
For full credit:
- You should have a post of your own, no shorter than 5 sentences. These posts should include your general comments on the chapter and at least one thing that caught your attention. Your post may also include questions that you may want to clarify.
- Additionally, you should reply to at least 2 peers. Check if anyone has any questions that you can help clarify. You may also look for posts with key points that you had previously overseen, or comments on common points of interest, for example.
