Literary Blog
The year long literary blog assignment continues during Quarter Three. 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 book from the New York Times “100 Notable Books of 2008”. This list is provided for you at the end of this assignment. Choose a book that your parents feel is appropriate for you and your family. Post about your book every week 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 themes/issues discussed in class if at all possible. Please refer to the “Year Long Literary Blog” assignment sheet for further details surrounding grading.
