First off, sorry I’m so late. I thought I could do this, but I’m lost. Please help!!

For your initial discussion post, you should select one of the prompt questions below and write a strong response paragraph that uses the assigned readings for the week as the basis for your response. Your paragraph should establish a claim followed by quoted support from the literature. Follow MLA formatting guidelines for in-text citations when you quote. For the purpose of this course, “literature” is defined as poems, short stories, novel excerpts, non-fiction narratives, speeches, sermons, etc. While you can quote from the editorial sections (author biographies, historical context sections, summaries of artistic and geopolitical changes, etc.), you must focus your response paragraph on the assigned literature and quote from the assigned literature. You should spend time explaining how the the quoted evidence you offer proves your claim to be true. Your response paragraph should be five to seven well developed sentences long. 

The second part of your discussion board assignment is to respond to at least two of your peers’ response paragraphs. Your responses should run at least three sentences long. Avoid simply saying you agree or you like what your peer said. Instead, if you agree or you like what your peer said, focus your response on explaining why and spend a few sentences explaining why to further contribute to the conversation. Likewise, respectfully disagreeing with a post and explaining why based on evidence from the literature is a legitimate mate of engaging and contributing to the ongoing conversation.

This is the question. 

• What is the importance of studying literature from the Age of Exploration?
