In order to make sure you keep up with the reading and in preparation for in-class discussion, I will ask you to respond to the various novels on our class blog 8 times throughout the semester. For every novel, I will provide several prompts to get you started thinking. You may respond to the prompt if you like, but you may also respond to other students’ comments, or to anything else that interests you in the work.
Blog posts must be at least 150 words to receive full credit, and they must be posted before class discussion for the day. Late blog posts are not accepted. If you miss the deadline, that will be one of the 3 posts you can skip during the semester. Blog posts will not receive letter grades, but you will receive credit for the number of comments you post, with 8 posts equaling 100%.
