Step 2: Discussion
In a posting to the Discussion Board, tell us about a portion of the text that is of particular interest to you.
- Does that section mirror or affirm a strategy or activity of yours?
- Is it a topic or activity with which you need assistance?
- Is it an entirely new concept that you are anxious to explore further.
