Ashford 2: – Week 1 – Discussion 2

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

Language   Structure Poster

 In Chapter 2, you will explore the complete system of language as well as the various levels of language structure.  Using your knowledge of the whole structure, as well as the individual levels, create a poster you can display in your classroom that explains the different levels.  This poster can be created using Microsoft Word, Glogster, or it can be hand drawn and scanned to share for this discussion.  The content of this poster should be a minimum of 150 words and it should be presented on one page.  It can contain text and visuals such as pictures and/or graphics.  At a minimum, please provide a brief summary of the three main levels and use your creativity as you break these down.  Support the content of your poster with information from the textbook and at least one outside source.  Citations must be properly formatted in APA style and be included on your poster.

Guided Response:  Analyze several of your classmates’ posters.  Select at least two posters that appeal to you and tell your classmates how their posters helped you better understand the level of language structure.
