Respond to at least one of your peers. Expand on your peer’s ideas.

Note:

• “Expand on your peer’s ideas” needs more than 1 – 2 sentences for an acceptable reply.
• If you refer to a website or article, be sure to cite it in APA format. This prevents plagiarism and allows your fellow students to review the cites and increase the class knowledge base.
