Monday's Work: Read, Blog and Trivia

Hello and welcome to my first blog post! I wanted to fill you in on a few things that we will be doing today.

TODAY (1/28)- Reading Response blogs. Please look over the scoring guide so that you know how to get an “A” on the blog. You may use this 90 minute class period to read silently and post to your blog.

Some helpful hints: be sure to include a photo that is NOT the cover of a book; have it be related to the author, the theme of the book or even a symbol. Please also include a quote and be sure to put it in quotations. Also, a quote is not merely two words but it is a phrase or a passage. Explain why you included the quote in your post. Once you are done with your reading response blog post, I want you to watch and read the following links about The Crucible. I think that these will be interesting and some of the trivia may be asked on a later test! Hint, Hint.
