Read Carefully!

After you have logged into your blog account, you are to pick two other blogs to post comments. Respond to the last posted entry as if you were replying to the character. Your comment must be no less than three sentences long and be written in complete sentences with correct grammar. This is part of your grade!

You are now to post a new entry as the same character you chose last week. Write about the character's thoughts on chapters 10-14. Write at least two paragraphs. Do not just summarize the chapters. Let me know what the character is thinking and feeling! This is a chance to explore who the character is!

Also, include at least 5 vocabulary words from the lists. You can use any words from any of the chapter vocabulary lists.

Blog Assignment #1

So far you have read chapters 1-3 and possibly ch. 4 as well. You will now write a blog entry about the chapters you've read from the point of view of Sophie. For example, if you choose to write from Sophie's PoV you will probably write something like, "My stepmother, Fanny, gave us apprenticeships and I was stuck in the hatshop. I knew that would happen!" Be creative!

I will grade your entry on the following:
  • It should be at least two paragraphs long with complete sentences and attention to grammar.
  • It should stay in character, i.e. if you choose to write from Sophie's PoV, you won't interrupt with any of your own personal thoughts.
  • Use at least five of the vocabulary words from chs. 1-3. Use them correctly or it doesn't count!
