“To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting.” –Edmund Burke
Every week you should post at least 1 new entry to your blog related to your independent reading. In this entry you should state what you are reading and how far you have read in the book. Then you should write a reflection on what you are reading. This reflection should be at least 2-3 paragraphs in length. For each post, please also include an image that you feel connects to the themes, characters, or plot of your current reading. Through these posts, I want to see that you are reading carefully and that you are engaging with your book. Posts can range in format and content. However, when I look at your blog for the semester, I want to see that you are thinking critically about what you read.
You can include comments on some of the following in your posts:
-Feelings evoked by the book (try to express why you feel the way you do)
-Themes
-Character comments
-Author’s writing style
-Connections to yourself, the world, or other texts
-Quotes significant to the plot, theme, character development, etc.
