To Kill A Mockingbird: Fall 2013

For our study of To Kill A Mockingbird, you will be contributing to a class web log (blog). The goal of this class project is to create an accessible, detailed and organized archive of all of our thoughts about Harper Lee’s novel.

 

Set-up:

In order to participate, you will have to accept my invitation to join our blog. When you accept it, you will be sent to a log in screen – login in using your BBN Google Account. If you don’t have one or are having issues, email Ms. Grinshpan. Using your Google username and password, you will be able to log into www.blogger.com and access our class blog: http://tkam85.blogspot.com

 

Posting and Commenting:

A post is an official entry which is published on the front page of the blog. Each of you will be asked to post THREE times throughout our work with the novel. This will involve you responding to specific discussion questions we have generated for you. You may also include hyperlinks in your posts and/or embed relevant video and imagery.  

 

A comment is a response to a specific post. You can comment on a post by clicking the posting title of the post or you can click on comments at the bottom of the post. A comment can be less formal than a post, but it should demonstrate both an understanding of the ideas in the post as well as add more ideas/information to what is presented in the post.
