Your favorite book

For your blog, choose a book that you read that had an effect on you in recent years. While children’s books are favorites for many of us, let’s stay in a more recent part of your life. You should not use a book you were assigned to read in school unless an assigned book really changed your thinking or was meaningful to your life. Graphic novels, popular fiction, as well as classics are all applicable to this assignment.

In your wiki post, include the following:

The book title and author

An image of the book cover

A description of the book in a few sentences

A short narrative (no more than 200 words) about your experience with this book

You will be commenting on one another's blogs, so think about how you can write something that someone could comment on. Make it interesting!

 

Interview

Blog assignment #1:

Interviews

You will be interviewing a classmate for your first blog post. A good interview reveals something about the interviewee that we would not normally know. Make your questions in a way that will get your interviewee talking about something important to her.

The blog post will be well written in paragraph form, so you will be taking your answers and making them into a complete picture with your writing skills.

The blog post will also include photographs that your interviewee provides you. These photos should be a central part of your question and answers.

You will have time during the next week to work on perfecting your blog post before it is officially due. Please use your time wisely and proofread your work. Make it as professional and presentable as possible.

Welcome to the English 101 class blog!

I will be posting questions here for you to write posts on your own blog.
First, you should create your own blog. To do this you can use Blogger or Wordpress. Go to blogspot.com or wordpress.com to set up an account.  You can make it as visually interesting as you want to! Each post should include an image because blogging should be visually appealing to the reader. You can tell a different story with words and images then you can with just words.

Please reply to this post with your link to your new blog! I will make a list on the righthand side of the screen, so you can see each other's blogs.
