You have been invited to a secure, academic Blog. We will use this Blog throughout the year for various readings and discussions. I am so glad all of you have signed up for the challenge and the joy that is AP Literature. We begin, as we begin all things--with reading and writing....
I have copied here the Blog Assignment (a portion of the Summer Reading/Pre-Requisite Reading). You should already have all of this information, along with the rest of the Summer Reading and Writing Assignments. You received this in your AP Language class, the mail, or at the Banquet. Books are available at the school if you need a copy.
As you begin your work, please remember that this is an intellectual environment where members are given academic courtesy and respect. Maintain an open mind as you read, write, and comment. Our task is always first to understand. The blog is a forum for discussion more so than debate.
BLOG ASSIGNMENT: How To Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas Foster.
Assignment: You must choose 2 of the prompts and respond (posts), and you must comment on 4 of your peers' posts (comments). I will be posting the prompts for you to consider over the next week.
- Remember that the purpose of the blog posts/comments is layered and multiple. I am looking to see that you read the Foster text, understood it, and engaged with it on a meaningful, critical level. I am also looking to see how you articulate your thoughts and interact with others in an academic setting. I am interested in WHAT you have to say and HOW you say it.
- Blog posts and comments must be posted no later than FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 6:00 PM for instructor comments. In addition, you need to print a hard copy of your posts/comments to be turned in on the first day of school, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, with the other written assignments as well.
ENJOY!!!
