Summer Reading Blog Assignment

Dear English 1oM Students,

Please choose three of the questions below to answer in a fully articulated, 250-300 word polished blog post by Sept. 11th. Don't forget to start your post with the name of the novel (in quotation marks or italics) and the author's full name. If you are responding to questions #1 or #2, please respond differently than "it was good" or "it was bad"- give specifics (example: " I would not recommend this book to fellow classmates as the language was too difficult and the plot was hard to follow as the characters traveled in time continuously. Instead, I would recommend..."

After you have completed your post, the second part of the assignment is to respond to your classmate's posts. If you have read the book they are writing about, you can add your own ideas. Even if you haven't read the book they are writing about, you can still ask clarifying questions and add your thoughtful comments. 

Please write your full name after each post, as these will be assessed following a rubric we will review in class on Monday Sept. 8th. 

As always, please either email or see me with questions.
Happy posting!
Ms M.
