Blog #8 Due: Monday 3/18/13

We will be analyzing/reading poetry for our new unit. For this blog, think of a song that you really like. Post a section of the lyrics to the song along with the song title and artist.  Songs must be school appropriate!


Then write one paragraph where you tell us:

-THE THEME OF THE SONG

-Why you like the song

-Anything else

Your paragraph should be 5-7 sentences. Make sure you include the THEME of your song and that your song is appropriate.
See the example I have provided.

Blog #7 Due: Monday 3/11/13

Post the title of the book you're reading, its author, and the current page you are on.

Almost all fiction authors have to do some kind of research before they write their novels. For example, JK Rowling might have researched historical sites in London and different creatures from mythology. Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games series, might have researched different types of weapons or survival skills. The author of Twilight researched Native-American traditional stories.

Tell me something that you think your author researched before he or she wrote your novel. Explain why you choose this (how it relates to your novel). Your response must be at least 5 sentences.
