Quarter 2 Outside Reading

Literary Blog
The year long literary blog assignment continues during Quarter Two. I will continue to post occasional questions surrounding our class units on my blog. You are expected to post your assignments by 8:30AM Friday morning of the week the question is assigned and to comment on 3 peer posts (per blog assignment) by 7:00PM Sunday evening.

Outside Reading
The primary purpose of the blog is to use it as a vehicle for discussing your outside reading. This quarter you must choose a memoir, biography or autobiography that is at least 325 pages long for your outside reading assignment. Post about your book about every 2 weeks during the quarter, for a total of at least 6 posts on outside reading. Your posts should be at least 2 paragraphs in length, be analytical in nature and cite examples from your book using proper MLA format. Make connections between your book and the ethical dilemmas/issues/themes that we discuss in class during this quarter. You are expected to post your assignments by 8:30AM Friday morning (Nov. 14, 25, Dec. 12, 19, Jan. 9, 23) and to comment on peers posts by 7:00PM Sunday evening. Please refer to the “Year Long Literary Blog” assignment sheet for further details surrounding grading.
