Blog

Welcome!

Now let's test this thing out!

Please comment on this post with your Edmodo post on "other[ing]. Go back to the original post and copy and paste your comment onto this blog.

The goal is simply to see if the blog is functioning properly and everyone can post.

Whatever you post, however, please make sure your name is listed somehow -- either within the comment box or as your username.

I believe you may need to have a gmail account in order to do this, so if you don't already have one, please sign up for an account. It's quick, easy and fairly painless.

Here is a copy of the original prompt for the post:

Write a brief paragraph explaining how you see the idea of the "other" demonstrated in the readings for this unit so far ("Learning to Read" and The Book Thief). This should be virtually all analysis only (your observations after thinking critically about the text(s) ). You should draw from the information you read on the literary concept from the previous homework reading.

*IMPORTANT: Please be sure you are commenting on the "BLOG" page and NOT the "Home" page.

DISCLAIMER: The "HOME" page will have EVERYTHING posted on the blog and is much more difficult to navigate. Please use the other pages (About, Syllabus, Course Schedule, Readings, Blog) to navigate the site. Everything featured on the Home page is sorted in each of the pages, thus you can find everything on the home page somewhere else, but in a much more convenient, readable, and user friendly way.

HELLO LADIES! :)
