Blogging for a Grade & Read On . . .line

Up to this point, your blog comments were freebies. However, grading will now commence for your blog comments. Before the end of March, you are required to thoughtfully comment on at least ten posts and to take part in the online book club. So let's decide on an online book to read so that we can get the discussion rolling. Please search the internet for free books to read online and comment on your choice. We will collectively decide which book to read and how much to read per day. This will take some time, as we will read in bits and pieces and discuss in bits and pieces. Let's make it fun and stress free. Let me know your suggestions.

I think we should read Hamlet by William Shakespeare. William Shakespeare was one of the greatest playwrites of his time. I believe reading his material would help us understand poetry and recognize symbolizism. Many English classes read plays by Shakespeare, and by reading Hamlet, it would help us in our classes.

I couldn't agree more, and it's been far too long since I've read any Shakespeare. It's always good to revisit the classics. I'm up for it . . . let's see what everyone else has to say.

I think that reading Hamlet will be a great learning experience also. Lets go for it! ~ashley~
