  8. Conclusion

There are four discussion questions (located in the applications section) and we look forward to your thoughts and conversation as we scaffold our learning.

Culminating activity. As you work through the content look for one or two terms of significance.  In the discussion forum post your terms and we will create a class wordle as a concluding activity.
