First Night's Homework

In addition to getting your independent reading book and materials, you need to:

-Register as a follower of the blog, by clicking on the "follow" button.  I'm not sure, but you may need a gmail account to do this.  If you have any trouble, please email me or post your concerns as a comment to this post.  Once everyone has registered as a follower, I will close the blog so that only members of this class can see it.  This will protect your privacy.  Only those of you who have been invited to read the blog (we did this when you typed in your email address) will be able to access it.  If for some reason, you did not receive an invitation to view the blog, please send me an email so that I can invite you.

-If you have a home computer that you use for school work, I suggest that you bookmark the blog for easy access.

-Respond to the "Book Every American Should Read" post.  This will give us a resource to refer back to when looking for books to read.

-Read through the blog and choose two posts that interest you, then write a THOUGHTFUL comment in response to each post.  ("That's interesting." is NOT a thoughtful comment.)  You may not say the same thing that someone else has already said in your comment, so the sooner you do your homework, the easier it will be.  Please use your google account when posting, so that I know who to credit with the comment (when you post, it will ask how you'd like to identify yourself.)  If you previously posted this summer, and you identified yourself, then you only need to post one comment.  We will be using this work in our next class meeting, so the more thought you put into it now, the easier it will be then.
