Use the following scaffolds in your posts to help guide your writing. Which you use in each post depends on what you are trying to add.

My Theory - Use this for your initial post. Use it again if you refine and develop your view a time progresses

New Information - Use this to bring in research you have find from sources.. Ensure you source any books or websites you use.

I / We Need to understand - This is where you will throw new (but related) questions into the mix. Continuing to question is important to developing

Opinion - Just as it suggests use this to make it clear your are stating an opinion
