Weekly Book Blogs

Book blog posts are aesthetic responses to literature. They are not summaries or reviews. They result from the reader's connection to and reflections upon the literature.

These responses may take many forms. In fact, exploration with multimedia is encouraged.

Five book blog posts (one per week) will be required. These are due on Wednesday midnight and substantive comments are due before class at 7 pm.
