Share What You Are Reading for Extra Credit

If you feel you need extra points, please leave a comment about what you are reading for your reading log. Is there something you like about your book? Do not like? Do you recognize any literary devices? The possibilities are endless. Let us all know what you think about your book by leaving your comments.

Make sure you state the title and author of your book.

Make sure you write in complete sentences and use your best grammar.

Spelling counts so pay attention to what you type.

When posting, remember to use your student number and not your real name.

Since this is extra credit, you have to figure out how to post. I will not give direction on this as your willingness and ability to figure it out will be part of your extra credit grade.

What are you reading?

Greetings students. We have started independent reading and you all are reading different books. I would like you to come to the Blah Blah Blog and share the titles of your books along with comments for your classmates. Let us know your reactions to characters and events. Say what you liked or disliked. Say how some things made you feel or changed your way of thinking. Whatever you do, say something. Remember to sign your comment with your code so that you may get credit. As always, be respectful of your readers and use appropriate language. I look forward to reading your comments.

The Skin I'm In

When we started the novel The Skin I'm In by Sharon G. Flake, students asked if I liked the book. I reserved my opinion because I didn't want to color your opinions. I wanted you to read the book and make your own decisions. Reading a book is such an individual experience and it should not be spoiled by other's thoughts or anyone ruining the ending. Now that we have read the book, we have some varying ideas. Some of us liked it; some of us did not. A few were very vocal about their feelings in class and others had strong feelings, but did not want to voice them in class. Here is your opportunity to let your thoughts be known. Let us know what you liked, disliked, would change, etc. and why. I think it will be fun to continue our discussions on the web.
