What do we write about?

 

 Blog Post Expectations:

• The text title and author (fiction, non-fiction, news/magazine article, etc.)
• Proper grammar and spelling 
• At least two paragraphs 

Possible* Post Prompts:

• Select a passage from your reading and write about why you find it interesting, compelling, clever, beautiful, terrible. 
• Analyze a character in the text. Why does this character stand out to you? 
• Relate your reading to another text (poem, short story, novel, article, song, film, your own life). What are the similarities? Differences? 
• Analyze the writing of your text. What can be said about the author's tone, diction, figurative language, syntax, etc.?
• Propose a theme demonstrated in the text. What is it? What evidence supports this theme?
• What do you like, find interesting about the text? Why? 
• Does your outside reading connect to a text we have read/are reading in class? What are the connections? 
• Would you recommend this text to someone else? What type of reader would enjoy it? Why? 

* YOU choose what you'd like to write about. Do you have a better idea? Write about it!
