Posts will be due Tuesday next week instead of Monday because of Labor Day. Remember, each post should be at least two developed paragraphs, and you should devote about 15 minutes of focused writing to each.
1. A Reading response to your current outside reading book. Yes, I know you are probably reading the same book. Push yourself to make new observations and connections. Add your reading days/times at the end of this post.
2. A response to some other text, following the same guidelines. You could respond to any of the literacy narratives you read this week, something you are reading in another class, or even a film. Here are a couple of suggestions (If you choose one of the films below, count the time you spend watching toward your reading total):
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream Speech," given 50 years ago today (8/28):
Text of "I Have a Dream"
- "Martin Luther King: I Have a Dream, Revisited" - BBC video in which international leaders, human rights figures, and writers perform Dr. King's speech
- This 10-minute video, "This is Water," based on a David Foster Wallace's 2005 Commencement address at Kenyon College:
