I will be on a field trip on Wednesday with my American Studies class (your field trip is coming soon!). You can use the time in class when I'm gone to complete your first blogging assignment and/or finish reading Pt. I of The Stranger, which is due Thursday.
Let's keep it simple. For your first post, react to the text we are reading right now, The Stranger. You can react to our class discussion from Tuesday or your general impression of the text, if you are inspired, but I would like most of you to demonstrate a response to a close reading of the language of the text. Choose a passage from the first part of the novel, discuss your own reaction to the language, and then ask a discussable question (DQ) about the passage to engage other in a conversation in the comments.
You should have your post completed, at the latest, by the start of class on Thursday. You should have two substantive comments on your classmates' posts by Friday.
If you are struggling with the technical aspects of blogging, see "All About Blogging." If you are wondering about the expectations for the form and content of the blog, see "College English Blogging Responsibilities."
