The discussion forum looks great and I am enjoying your thoughts on How to Read Literature Like a Professor. As you know, your posts to the discussion forum are due today; however, feel free to continue posting (or even post late). Everything I get in the next week will count (just less if you haven't been posting). Some reminders:
- Start your own thread or reply to someone. The goal is conversation.
- Be real. Make connections between the book and what you read, watch, play, etc.
- Keep it short and simple. The occasional long post is fine, but long posts often inhibit conversation (TL;DR). One idea=one post. Think Twitter rather than Facebook.
- Take 5 minutes and read the guidelines and rubric. Seriously.
The third and final piece of the summer assignment is posted at Google Classroom (due 8/26). It asks you to read and write about three short storties—Katherine Mansfield's "The Garden Party" (from HTRLLP) and two of the other short stories I have posted. Click on the assignment at Classroom and type your response in the Google doc it gives you.
I will be using Remind.com this year. You will get an email with details, but some of you will already be familiar with it (Muldoon and Lovfald use it, I think).
Enjoy your last few weeks of summer (and remind your friends to check their school email). Don't hesitate to contact me with questions.
See you all soon!
