Posts for 11/18
You have two posts this week. You do not need to incorporate LOTF in either post but of course are welcome to. As I've said before, treat these like timed writing and give yourself about 15 minutes per post of focused writing. If you are spending much longer than that, you may be overdoing it or you may be trying to multitask unproductively.
1. Write your own blog prompt and answer it. If I choose your prompt to give to the whole class in a future week, you will get a pass that week.
2. Free post. Remember that these should have a real topic and should not just be stream-of-consciousness.
(Reading details, either attached to one of those posts or separately. Please count your LOTF reading time and any out-of-class time spent working on class work other than blogs and vocabulary.)
Reminder: Submit your comments here. You may want to bookmark that address for future reference. Alternately, if you click on "Commenting" near the top of this page, you will find the form embedded.

For 11/11
Two posts this week:
1. Reflect on your deserted island simulation experience in class Thursday or Friday. How do you think the situation would have played out in real life, over a longer period of time? What do you think your class would have managed well? What challenges would they have faced?
Please include your reading or work time (you can include class time and out-of-class time spent reading LOTF, work time on your essay, tutorial, writing center appointments, etc.).
2. Free post!

For 11/4
No posts are due this week. Please post your time (include reading, out-of-class work on your literary analysis, and your peermark reviews).
***You may choose to post blogs this week to make up for a missed or partial week, or to earn an exempt week later in the quarter.
Optional Post 1: An update on your literary analysis. Where are you with the analysis? What activities or resources have been helpful for you or not? What struggles or questions do you have? What are your plans for moving forward?
Optional Post 2: Free post. May I recommend flash fiction? (a short short story)
