First, I want to congratulate you on learning a new genre/form of writing, one that I believe will serve you well in the future. Posting to a blog enables our class to share thoughts while building an academic community. This is a great place to reflect on your reading, ask questions of each other, and share points of view. You will gather information about other books and this will help you decide on your next book choice. You will get practice reading with the eye of a writer, analyzing power passages, storyline, character, and author's purpose.
First thing to remember: post to your own blog, not this one. I will reserve this space for posting about what we are doing in class. If you have questions of me, you can always leave a comment in the comment box below the post. Next, I hope you'll take time to read everyone's posts and leave thoughtful comments, connections you have with other bloggers, their posts, or the books they are reading. There is nothing better than knowing someone has taken the time to think about and respond to your writing. So finally, always be aware of your audience when you post. The blog is public AND it is academic, so remember to be respectful and careful in your writing.
Happy reading, blogging, and commenting!
