Blogging Guidelines
This is your opportunity to be as honest as you want about the texts that I am assigning to you, and to offer your thoughts in a more casual, informal way than you will in your graded papers. Your blog entry can be whatever length you want, but it should be at least paragraph. I’m especially interested in getting your first impression, your gut reaction to the work you are responding to. The stronger your opinion the better. Do you love the book? Do you hate it? Why? Is it exciting, boring, beautiful, pointless, riveting, demoralizing, inspiring, or just proof that your professor wants to torture you? What works about the text? What doesn’t? Do you feel any sympathy for the characters, or do you find them loathsome? Would you like them to be your friends or would you run from any room that they were in? Whatever thoughts you have—put them down. And feel free to take advantage of the multimedia capacity of the blog. If an image, a gif, a song, etc. helps to capture how you feel about the work, then use it.
You are also required to respond twice to other students’ blog entries. In your response you should say whether you agree with the blog entry and why.
