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

This theory cannot explain - As it suggests use this to ensure you think beyond what the theory gives you (when explaining one in a post). Outline what it doesn’t explain

A better theory - Use this when you feel you have come across something that explains things better

Pulling our knowledge together - At times all students will need to try and pull together or synthesise what they see in front of them (when going through the posts). Use this heading when you try to summarise a number of points in one post

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