POST #1
Use this post to reflect on roughly the first quarter of your reading for either Blink or Quiet
As we are going to have a forum with students discussing separate books, please make sure that you are clear in your post as to what exactly you are talking about—the first lesson of good writing is that it must make sense to someone who doesn’t know exactly what you do.
In your post (250 words minimum), reflect on the ideas in your reading that strike you as interesting or surprising. Think of this post as the beginning of a conversation you will continue in the reaction blog that follows.
Though we're not going to be grading you on grammar, please remember that this blog is a public forum, so proofread your worj work before posting it. We won't accept any posts that have crude language or are not considered school-appropriate (I usually use Microsoft Word to write and then cut and paste it when I'm ready.) Also, save all of your blog posts in a Word document in case something happens and your work is lost (This has never happened, but if it does, you won't have to redo everything.)
Enjoy!
