(note: in order to participate in the forum, you must have updated your profile during weeks 1 & 2 of the semester)

In order to receive full-credit on this assignment you must:

1. Submit a response that includes at least TWO well-developed paragraphs to the Rios reading by Thursday at 11:59 pm. Your response should demonstrate your understanding of the required reading (more details provided below).
2. Read at least two of your classmate’s posts, and write at least a 3-4 sentence response to both. This is due by Sunday at 11:59 pm.
3. Follow the participation guidelines below.

When writing your response to the reading, the following is required:

• TWO well-developed paragraphs with at least 4 references to the Samovar AND Rios texts (paraphrase or direct quotes). You need at least 2 references from the Samovar text and at least 2 references from the Rios text.
• All references to the Samovar and Rios texts need to be properly cited following APA.
• Make sure to demonstrate your understanding of the reading. Therefore, your posts should be detailed and discuss specific examples from both texts.

1. How does the Rios reading connect to the concepts we have read about in the Samovar text? Be specific.
2. How can cultural marginalization influence our communication with others?

Forum Participation means that you honor your classmates and professor and by behaving in a professional manner. Here are some criteria for positive participation: raising good questions; effectively answering questions raised by students or the professor; facilitating during in-class exercises (encouraging less active members to participate; respond to a student’s posting that your classmates have yet participate in); and actively participating (for example, contributing ideas, explaining why your analysis applies course concepts appropriately, etc.).
