Two additional Discussion Board replies to peers must be posted no later, in fact the sooner the better on Sunday at 11:59PM

This should be a fun virtual scavenger hunt!  You won’t see your peer’s post until you post your own, so I hope that you’ll submit your initial post first before making comments. 
In your responses to your peers, reflect on the information that they found.  Was it similar to yours or different?  Did you have a hard time finding some of the information compared to others? Did you find this discussion assignment helpful for your upcoming informative speech? 
We are have been building our classroom community, I want to remind you to continue to offer each other support, empathy, and validation in solidarity to their personal experiences.
Please make sure that each response includes the name of your classmates to make the response personal and customized.
