 * HEALIGAN'S COMMENTS ON Q2 BLOGGING**

3 tiers of posting: comment, reflection, analysis

3 tiers of commenting: approval, sharing, responding to judgment.


 * How am I looking at your blog?**

Reflection, becomes Analysis
 * Quality of posts, from**—Comment, becomes

Quantity of reading-balance short and long Variety of choice (remember the AP test!)
 * Quality of texts read**: Raw material for posts: poetry, fiction, nonfiction, bio

Usage, easy flow of language Individual, unique voice identifying the author (Q3=how to do it--deliberately) Consciousness of self as writer: which voice will you choose? Fit voice to purpose
 * Quality of writing voice:**


 * My Observations**

1. Sometimes you have to wait to post. Processing the work is important to strong voice.

2. Merit of the book you write about affects ability to move from comment to analysis.

3. Comment, reflection, analysis applies to your content as well as your //voice.//

4. Some people comment better than they post—this is good to know as you develop your style.

5. We can use conscious voice as a vehicle to attract readers and allow comment. (Q3 challenge)

 * INSTRUCTIONS FOR AP LIT BLOGS 2011 **

1. You will create a blog and post **//5//** times in Q2. You may of course post more than 5 times. Blogging can be addicting. (evidence? I have 3 personal blogs, plus my Goodreads.com page). Your blog design will count as one of the posts. I will judge the design for quality and effort, and will assume that you have envisioned the page as an avatar of your reader-self.

2. You will also be responsible for commenting **//twice//** on a classmate's blog during Q2. You must comment on two different classmate's blogs, and if someone has already received 5 comments from others, please choose someone else's blog. If you wish to comment on more than two students' blogs, great.

3. My purpose? To engage your critical response in a regular fashion. I want your "AP brain" in operation 24/7 between now and May 10, 2012.

4. Your purpose? View your blog as a journal of your reading. This should be your objective even as you design your page.

5. I will assign a prompt for your first written post: What do you want from AP Lit? What would give this class meaning for you (beyond the obvious, a score of 5 in May)? What might reading have to do with that (or not, as the case may be)?

6. Just as in Q1, you should complete what is required a week before the end of the quarter: //January 6, 2012//. Additional parameters for our blogging can be decided as we go. This is an experiment for me as well as for you.
