Blogger of the Week Friday the 13th

Honors English Only:  

 

We will begin implementing something I'm going to call the "Blogger of the Week." I'm going to feature someone's blog every Friday. The "feature blogger" will be someone who has posted something that I believe is model-worthy and will help you understand the expectations of the rubric. In most cases, the feature blogger goes above and beyond the expectations of the rubric. I'm asking that each weekend you comment on that person's blog. We have seven more weeks of blogging and you will receive two points for each meaningful, quality comment you make for blogger of the week, therefore this will be a 14 point assignment. This 14 point assignment will be separate from your rubric.

 

 

Our first featured blog will be Jessica W. I would like for you to read through her page, but pay close attention to the September 8th post "Justice is Served." Jessica perfectly meets the expectation for the characters section of the rubric. Notice that she makes assertions on how the character changes or develops, but provides textual evidence to support each assertion and adds her own analysis to connect the quote to the assertion. In addition, Jessica provides a symbol to represent her character and explains in depth how this symbol represents each character's development and how this advances the plot. She also looks at all sides of the character and mentions several traits that are revealed throughout the story about each character. Well done, Jessica!
