__**Getting Acquainted**__ __**General Discussion Instructions**__
 * On the right hand side of this page you will find a table of contents to help you navigate this wiki.
 * Click on "My Side of the Mountain" in the table of contents to view an information page on your novel.
 * Make sure to read through the other posts before responding to a discussion question.
 * When responding to another student's post, it is important to **always be respectful.** A respectful response should begin by pointing out something that you like about their post before offering a suggestion, correction, or your own opinion.
 * Pay attention to your spelling, punctuation and clarity. You need to make sure that your posts make sense to other readers, not just to yourself.

__**To Get Started**__
 * Click on "Discussion One” in the table of contents to start contributing to the conversation.
 * Once you have finished reading the first four chapters of the novel, click on "Chapter 1-4 Discussions" in the table of contents. Choose a minimum of **one of the questions** to post a response to. First read other students contributions, then post your own response to the question. Use your own words; don't duplicate another student's response. Also, respond to one or more of the other student's posts. This is how we get the conversation rolling.
 * Repeat this process after every four chapters read.
 * Remember to be **kind and respectful** when offering suggestions, corrections, or giving your own opinion.
