For our final unit we will be reading The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, and responding here on the blog. This blog will serve three functions:
1) We will all be able to engage in one big conversation about the novel, much like we did for Catcher in the Rye, but every freshman's voice will be heard here no matter the class (B, D, or E).
2) Since we will be away on Spring Program possibly before we get a chance to finish, this forum will allow us to continue to read and respond even though we will be away from class.
3) This will serve as a way to evaluate reading as a supplement to quizzes
The blog is a place to break down the barrier between classes and all learn from each other. Think of it as the great online conversation!
Assignment: You will be required to write an original post on the blog at least three times a week and respond to at least two of your classmates posts a week.
Follow the rules and regulations outlined in the "Bloggers Contract"
