This summer, you will read a short selection of spooky summer time short stories. We will be responding to what we are reading throughout the summer using blogs.
The expectation that we write in response to reading also includes commenting on other posts. It is not a discussion if there isn’t discourse. Only positive, constructive, and thought-provoking comments are allowed on this site.
You will be required to read each text and post a response along with two comments on our monthly blogs. I will post a blog prompt during the first week of each month: June, July, and August. In each blog post, I will identify the the texts that you will be required to read in order to write an adquate response.
Over the course the the summer, I will also add supplemental material that will help you to synthesize information and create your response.
