In reading Chapter 8, in what specific places did you need to make bridging references? Include at least three examples and the section and paragraph number in your response. Did you need to pause to go back and reread the previous sentence or two at these points? Describe some of the micropropositions asserted in the text: Where were these located in the text? What are some of the macropropositions that convey the basic gist of the chapter, and where were these located in the text? Use the reading from Chapter 8 to thoroughly answer these questions.
Be sure to use your own Academic Voice (Links to an external site.) and apply in-text citations appropriately throughout your post. The In-Text Citation Helper: A Guide to Making APA In-Text Citations (Links to an external site.) tutorial can clarify further questions you might have on APA.
Guided Response: Respond to two of your classmates’ posts. Pose questions about their bridging references and suggest ways for further understanding the concepts of that section of the chapter.
For deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you. Remember, continuing to engage with peers and the instructor will further the conversation and provide you with opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real-world experiences with this topic.
