Welcome to CommuniWrite!

At the end of each class period you will be responsible for posting a response to your homework readings. You may write about any of the following:

*your opinion of the piece
*a specific quote within the text
*how this information changes your perceptions
*the author's motive in writing the piece
*a question you have about the piece
*the significance of the piece

An alternative you will have as the semester goes on will be to blog about different subjects, songs, videos, quotes, or pictures that I post. From time to time I will find thought-provoking items and I want to hear your opinion! Your responses to these items could easily be used to help you write one of your major essays!

After sharing your thoughts, see what someone else has to say. Feel free to comment on their blog. The most interesting blogs will be featured on my "Write On!" list.

Enjoy and Happy Writing!

Blogging Assignment for Monday!

You should read up to scene VI of Doctor Faustus. Between the part that we read in class and the part you read on your own, I want you to blog about one thing that really sticks out to you. I want you to tell me what it is and why it jumps out at you. Then, I want you to explain to me how it works to achieve that effect.

This is a good way to practice the process of analyzing a text. I hope that this blogging assignment will help you when it comes time to analyze not only this play, but any other text that you might come across!
