Blog #12, DUE: Dec. 9, 2011
Post the title/author/page # of your book.
Find a word that you do not know in your novel (if you can't find a word that you do not know, it probably indicates that your book is at a reading level that is much too low for you!).
Post the word (and the sentence that it's in if you can).
Take a guess at what the word means from seeing it in context.
Then look up the definition and post the actual definition (if it's long and confusing, you can put the actual definition into your own words).

Blog #11, DUE: Friday, Dec. 2nd
Post your book title, author, and page #.
Briefly describe a specific scene that you read this past week. Then explain why you think the author chose to include this scene in the book. Remember: You should be insightful and not put an incredibly obvious answer. Write this carefully because I will be somewhat strict in the grading.

Blog #9, DUE: November 11, 2011
Tell us the title of your book, the author, and the page # you are on.
We have practiced a lot with characterization and the five forms of indirect characterization.
1. Choose ONE of the forms of indirect characterization. Tell which indirect characterization method you are using (no numbers, be specific with which form of indirect characterization).
2. Give a specific example from your book of that indirect characterization.
3. Tell us the character trait that this shows about the character (remember, this should be an adjective).
