Discussion board 3

This is a discussion board not a paper just a response to the questions are fine.

-All posts must fall between 125-175 words, not counting bibliographic material.
-All posts must utilize at least one, in-text quotation with appropriate citation that demonstrates mastery of relevant vocabulary and concepts. A citation is a way to identify where you are getting specific information that you did not already know before working through the module materials.
-When citing Church documents such as Dei Verbum and Verbum Domini, give citations with an abbreviation and always a section number. For example, use the forms “(DV 12)” or “(VD 2)”. When scriptural texts are cited, use the standard abbreviations given in a text like the Catholic Study Bible and include chapter and verse(s). For example, use the form “(Mt 5:12)”, which indicates you are citing Matthew chapter 5, verse 12.
-Give bibliographic information for the works you give in the in-text citations at the end of your post.
-Each student will be put in a pool to respond to one of the three questions for the initial post. Each student must then respond to two classmates who each answered the other two questions than the student’s own question for the initial response.
-All students must be sure to read and watch all posts, in all threads, in the board.
-Discussion board questions will be asking you to make various connections between the readings. Do not repeat ideas within your 3 posts. All students must utilize the texts and the questions to write on a variety of topics.

Reading Response Papers (RRPs)

● In the reading assigned for the week(s) preceding the RRP due date, isolate five significant pericopes (i.e., small passages of text) that you consider important, interesting, controversial, or the like. Each pericope should originate from a separate source (or a separate chapter within the same source).

● In a word-processed document:
REL 3400/5400 Page 5 of 11
○ Include your name, course number and section, assignment name and number, and date.
○ Paraphrase or directly quote the five significant pericopes.
○ Clearly delineate each pericope by number (1-5). Do not blend the pericopes into one extended essay.
○ When citing each pericope, utilize a formal parenthetical reference style (APA, AMA, or Chicago) consistently, including a formal bibliography at the end that includes all sources cited.
○ Expand on each of the pericopes in three reflection paragraphs (composed of at least six sentences each), indicating (a) the essential message of the pericope, (b) the relevance or noteworthiness of the pericope, and (c) the personal and/or professional significance of the pericope.
○ Clearly delineate each reflection paragraph by letter (A-C). Do not blend reflection paragraphs into one extended essay.

1. Pericope 1 (Paraphrase/Quotation and Citation)
A. Essential Message Paragraph (What is the essential point being made?)
B. Relevance/Noteworthiness Paragraph (Why did you select this pericope?)
C. Personal Significance Paragraph (How does the pericope apply in your life?)
