The purpose of this blogging assignment is to have us create a place to talk about texts over the summer and also a way to get to know your future classmates. After reading the post, click on “Leave a Comment”, you will need to include your name (first name and last initial) and email. If you don’t have an email, create one for this class. Make sure to read the guidelines on each of the two posts “Hello World” and also “Summer Reading”.
Summer Reading
What are you reading this summer? 
Comment: During the summer please comment on this blog post at least three different times at any point during the summer about your progress on your summer reading novel or play. Don’t summarize it but rather discuss how you are being affected by it, what you notice about how the author constructs meaning and what meaning you are constructing from the text.
Reply: Then, during the summer reply to at least two different comments posted by your future classmates. Read some of the commentaries and respond to at least two that haven’t already been responded to. Write at least 5 sentences using the following questions to get you started- What did it make you think? Did you realize something new after reading their commentary? If you are reading the same book, do you agree with their argument? Note: It is not your job to grade someone else’s commentary.
