STOP AND CHECK

A couple of notes on your current blog posts: I have been reading your blogs and have a few suggestions for you as a class:

1. Consider how you organize your blog posts. You can do this through the title you select. Consider numbering each blog post to help your reader better understand what assignment you are writing about. You should also be rephrasing part of the question or assignment as your opening sentence.

2. You must punctuate your book titles properly: ITALICIZE book titles.

3. Identify the novel you are addressing by Title and Author at the start of every blog post. For example: Gravity Journal by Gail Sobat.

4. You must include a citation for your direct quotations. (Author, Title page#).

5. Be sure that you SPELL CHECK before you post your response. (Use the icon in your blog post toolbar : ABC and check mark) Mking splling errers or leevin in typos macks it hrd to reed yer wrk. it also mks it seam asthought u dnt really care abut yer wrk.

6. Some of you are behind. Get caught up! This is your homework for the weekend.

Before you continue with your comments on your peers' blogs, go back to the previous blog posts you have completed, check each carefully and correct any errors based on the suggestions above, and based upon the suggestions your peers have already given you.

On your last blog post you looked at character archetypes.

Did you discover characters in any of your readings that have initially presented themselves as one thing only to later reveal themselves as something else?

They may be a shapeshifter!

Can you spot if a person is not being genuine with you?

Take the SPOT THE FAKE quiz in our 'Land o' Links' section
found in the side bar to the right.
