Blog Project - Sharing and Discussion Day

Greetings!

Ok, it is time for us to share what we have been thinking and writing about - Part 3 of your assignment.

(Note that this will receive a separate grade from what you wrote for Parts 1 and 2)


To do that, I'll group you into clusters of 4.

• Billy - Jacob - Charlie T - Emma
• Jack B - Evan - Penelope - Elizabeth
• Alleman - Kellen - Andrew - Ashley
• David - Kevin - Charlie K - Rachel
• Jack D - Matt - Alyssa - Nate

Simply follow these steps:

1. Using the links to the blogs of your classmates at the top of the class blog, navigate to the blog of one of the people in your cluster.
2. Read their work for Parts 1 and 2. This includes the paragraphs about the articles they reviewed as well as their final paragraph.
3. At the bottom of their blog post, find the link to leave a comment.
4. Your response should say something about their work overall, but must include these elements:
1. What do you think about the articles they shared (part 1)? What did the comments of the writer lead you to think about?  Do you have a different opinion?
2. What do you think about their comments in Part 2, and what it all adds up to about America?  Do you agree with their choice of which article of their three was most important? Why / why not?
3. Did they make an effective argument? Did they use pathos / ethos / logos in a way that affected your thinking about the topic?
5. Repeat this for all members of your group.
6. Return to your blog and read the comments people left for you.  Write a response to these comments, including these points:
1. What did each one lead you to think about? Were they helpful? Did they present you with another perspective?
2. What new questions do you have?  What other issues do you see coming from your three articles?
7. When you are finished with all of this work, please complete this feedback form: Blog Unit Feedback.

**Reminder - you need to own The Tortilla Curtain for class on Monday. There is no other homework for the weekend.
