Mrs. Buboltz’s English Blog

FOR YOUR second book project, in addition to the paper and journals, you are required to post to this spot twice. You must fill the box to get full credit, and if you have numerous errors, I will not approve it. Proofread! Use only your first name and last initial. The criteria for the postings is as follows. 

1.  In the first post, tell people what you think of your book. Do you like it? Would you recommend it? Is it in your top ten? Bottom five? Tell us something interesting. These are only suggestions, not a formula for an answer. Use details, examples, and explanation to support your opinion.

2.  In your second post, respond to another student’s posting. What do you think about his or her book? Would you read it? Why? Why not? You do not have to respond to someone in your class. You may respond to anyone.

Have fun!

Hi Future Honors Students,

I’ve had a couple questions about reading logs and journals. Looking back at the sheet, that is my fault. Last year’s students had to read four books instead of three and I forgot to change a phrase on the sheet. Anyway, for A Farewell to Arms and another book of your choice, do the READING LOGS, no journals. The directions are on the back of the summer reading handout. For the third book, do the READING JOURNALS only (journal entries), ten of them.

If you have any more questions, let me know. I check my email often. However, I will be out of the country August 4-16 and probably won’t have access to the Internet.

Happy reading!

Mrs. Buboltz

Steinbeck is famous for his novels The Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden, but this work of nonfiction is just as good as some of his best works of fiction. Post your thoughts about it here. Make sure you at least fill the box.
