You are not allowed to write about just anything. You must stick with the topic you selected in Assignment 1.08.  If you do not remember your topic, please look at your initial post on Assignment 1.08 to find out.

In Assignment 5.06, you need to explain how the topic you are researching started or was caused, and your response needs to be at least 100 words.  This will require you to do some research!  Be sure you add at least one of the websites you used for research at the bottom of your post.

Also, don't forget to respond to one of your classmate's posts.  You must extend the discussion to receive full credit.  Your response should be at least three sentences.  Ask a follow-up question.  Give your classmate some ideas they can include in their project.  Help them check their spelling, grammar, and/or punctuation. Most importantly, be respectful in your response to a classmate!
