Activity 3 Portfolio Assignment: “Deepen Your Response” Prompts and Responses
(Leanne Healy)
Activity Directions: In this module we keep building that chest of tools available for your use as a facilitator in your own course. Your portfolio assignment for this module will be to create a handy list of ready-to-use prompts, extenders, and replies that need only be tweaked to the individual subject matter of a particular activity, reading, or module.
Next, create several generic replies or "extenders" that could be inserted within a forum when students begin to answer with short, unsubstantiated answers like “I agree” or “Me too.” Your replies should serve to encourage more complex thinking and substantiated responses by your students. You should have five to six total prompts/replies combined when you are finished.
