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.
