While you read...Brave New World

Using the format of a blog, comment at the end of each reading session on both the substance of your reading and its effects on you. Record pages or sections on which you are commenting. Record your impressions of characters, events, conflicts, descriptions. Record responses to your own questions. Record questions about the novel as you read. Respond to course focus questions. Make sure you take the time after, during, or before each reading session to make an entry into your blog. 10-15 sentences per reading session might be enough. Make each entry interesting, personal, intelligent.

Bloggiest start to the bloggiest year ever.

What a funny word, "bloggiest". Should I say it is a "most bloggy" start to the year? Does correct English matter in a blog? All students I teach have begun a blog, of sorts. For the most part, I've insisted the content of the blog must be school or course related, the myriad responses to Macbeth fit this category.

Three Questions - by Leo Tolstoy

One day it occurred to a certain emperor that if he only knew the answers to three questions, he would never stray in any matter. What is the best time to do each thing? Who are the most important people to work with? What is the most important thing to do at all times? The emperor issued a decree throughout his kingdom announcing that whoever could answer the questions would receive a great reward. Many who read the decree made their way to the palace at once, each person with a different answer.
