Writing about Literature- Due Friday 9/18/09 by 2:20

What does a good essay about literature look like?

During the past two weeks you have read chapters 1-8 in Writing Essays about Literature by Kelley Griffith. For your next blog entry I want you to list a minimum of 10 important ideas you took from the reading and how you plan to use them. You may select quotes or simple ideas, however, they must come from the readings.

Be sure to read and respond to at least two other students in the class. You might just learn something new...we will discuss these ideas in class.
