Welcome to the blog site for English 2200: Summer 2011 edition! I will post weekly responses to the readings on this blog, and I will link student blogs on the right column labelled "fellow bloggers."
You will be required to write up a 200 word response (about the size of this post) to question in the course schedule by midnight the day before that particular reading will be due; and you will be required to respond to two other blogs per reading response session before class time.
Don't think of it as mandatory drudgery; think of this blogging as a chance to write down some thoughts on the course readings and see what other people are experiencing in the readings. When writing up your reading response blogs, think about the question and explore other questions you might about the text, the author, the reader, and the cultural context of the readings.
These reading response blogs will also give introverts a chance to write their thoughts down instead of saying them in class (and we will often go into these blogs during class discussions to bring up interesting observations). So, the reading response blogs are really a chance for students to voice their opinions on the readings in an informal manner. Have fun!
