Hi Everyone! Congratulations to all of you who posted on time. Great job! After skimming through several of your comments, it looks like many of you are doing a GREAT job with your postings. Keep up the awesome work. Please be continually aware and cognizant of spelling and grammar. It definitely helps to type up your response in a word document, then copy and paste it to the blog.
Your second assignment has two parts:
1. You need to read and respond to your group members' first posting. After reading everyone's postings, respond to at least TWO people. (For groups of three, that means you'll respond to everybody in your group.) You may ask questions, answer questions, clarify confusing parts, share your opinion, or offer additional information on your members' posts. You should write several sentences. To respond, simply hit the reply link at the end the your group member’s post that you are commenting on. Be sure to title your response with your first name.
2. Once you have replied to other members, go back to your group page (click your name on the right) and post a new comment on the following. You need to select one quote or passage from the novel so far and write about 200 words explaining the significance.
Consider the following questions:
- Why did you choose the quote?
- Why do you like it?
- Why is it important?
- Does this passage help indicate why the book has been banned or challenged? What are your views on this?
- What does it say about the characters, symbols, themes, etc. in the novel?
- What larger connections can you make to either other pieces of literature or your own life?
Also, please be sure to title your new post as follows:
