Things to keep in mind:
Clearly identify which option you have chosen. (Granted, if the grader cannot instantly tell which question you are answering, your post might have some serious issues, but this step can make things easier for your TA.)
Your post should have a clear argument. With a post of this length, you will probably want to organize your thoughts in 2-3 paragraphs.
The anti-plagiarism software Turnitin is integrated into CCLEs discussion forums, so be sure to cite sources. (Full bibliographic information is not necessary for course readings, so long as you include the authors name and, if applicable, a page number.)
500 words is an absolute maximum, in consideration of teaching assistants workloads. Both you and your TA will be able to see the word count.
