Getting Started
Reading to Blog
What’s more important the book or our interpretations of the book? Can there be a book without there being interpretation? We’ll be able to answer some of those questions after we’ve recorded the history of our relationships with our books. In order to preserve paper and promote our communication with the academic world outside of CNG, we’ll be keep blogs about the books we read.
You will write you own blogs, and respond to your blogs as prescribed by your weekly homework sheet. You should not approach each blog the same way. With variety comes varied thought; therefore, I propose focusing on different topics and using different approaches in each entry. Here are some possibilities:
- Respond to the text personally
I never had my house blown down by a wolf, but I did have felt loss. For example, I once abandoned my favorite apartment. I left most of my furniture there, some clothes, even a television!
- Connect text to another book, a film, work of art, a comic or any other creation
The Three Little Pigs reminds me of The Matrix. When the Wolf “huffed and puffed and blew his house down” he acted just as Morpheus did for Reeve’s character. Suddenly, Reeves was without the security he once felt.
- Ask questions to later answer
What might the grandmother represent?
Why would the Wolf want to blow down the houses?
How might I write a better ending?
I would then maybe answer these questions in later blogs.
You may use any combination of these, or you can write your own type of entries. Let your reading guide your entries.
You will be assessed using the rubric distributed in class
I look forward to reading and responding to your entries.
