Trimester One, Blog One (due 8/31 by midnight)

You have two choices for this week’s blog response:

#1: Respond to the following prompt using one of the four methods described in your blog handout: Continue our class discussion of good readers by explaining how your view of a good reader has evolved over the week. Reflect upon the notes you took and the points we discussed in class to provide a detailed response here.
OR
#2: Visit the link below to view a cartoon from The New Yorker. Then, respond to the following questions: 1) How do the details of the cartoon contribute to the humor it evokes? (That’s right—fondle the details.) 2) What comment does this cartoon seem to be making about our society or about an aspect of society? 3) Why might an editor have chosen to include this particular cartoon in the August issue of The New Yorker?
