Welcome/Instructions

The Reflection Blog

During our study of the text, In Cold Blood, students will be required to make one post per week to an online reflection blog. Think of the blog as an opportunity to have an ongoing conversation about the text. Each week there will be new quotations from the text posted to the blog. Your task is to interpret, react, support and disagree with the ideas. You’re not simply restating facts from the text but instead you are justifying your positions and reacting to the ideas of your peers. Be sure that the points you’re making are clearly explained and developed; this will encourage a challenging conversation and open up the possibility for debate on various interpretations of the text. The first posting will be done in class as a group, but after the first post, students will be responsible for posting on their own time unless otherwise specified.

Each entry should include:

*Your first and last name

*The quote number

*The names of any students to whom you are responding.

*A page number should be included for any additional direct quotes posted to the blog.

*The date and time of your entry should be automatically recorded.

***All entries are due by 4:00 each Friday.***
