Hello everyone! So a new component of our AP Literature and Composition class this year is using blogs as another form and opportunity for discussion.
I have several reasons why I think blogs will help you throughout this course including:
1. Creating fair discussion--where everyone will have a chance to talk and share.
2. Getting exposure to online forums--which you will probably encounter in college.
3. To help you see new ideas and insights from each other.
4. Expand the conversation to involve our independent students as well.
Now, the way this works is I will post different prompts and discussion points and you will comment or answer on with your own posted comment.
You will have to login under an account (like google) to fully post your comments. If you need to make a new account just for our class, please do so, and make sure your login name is one that I can easily identify.
This blogs will be up the whole year, and you are welcome to revisit, and comment on them anytime, even if the blog posts were from a month ago. Use this as another form of seminar and discuss!
Finally, these posts need to be thoughtful, thorough, and detailed. I won't assign a word count unless I need to, but push your posts so they are dynamic. Do beware comments that are too long though!
