Welcome to Honors English! I'm so excited to be your teacher this year. Throughout both semesters, I will post weekly or semi-weekly assignments on this blog and you will need to read the assignments and respond to them on your own personal English blog.
For your first blog post, introduce yourself to your readers. While your main audience will be me (your teacher) other classmates or other literature enthusiasts may be reading your blog periodically. What should your readers know about you? What makes you unique? What do you like to do in your free time? The majority of your blog posts will be responses to the reading we do in class. What type of a reader are you? What types of books do you enjoy? When and where do you like to read? Write a paragraph or so as an introduction to you, your blog, and yourself as a reader.
For the second paragraph, write about a book that you read recently that you enjoyed. The first literary term we discussed in class is symbolism. As your notes recall, a symbol is something that is itself and also stands for something else. Find and post an image that is symbolic of something important from the book you are writing about. Discuss why this is an important symbol.
I hope you enjoy keeping your blog for English. I know I will enjoy reading your posts. Please see me in class or email me if you have any trouble with your personal blog.
This first post is due Monday, September 21.
