There's lots to learn in an English class especially if its the "Bear necessities, the simple bear necessities!"
This is the first portfolio that I'm posting for my American Literature 1915 to the Present class. All this is, is a compilation of all of the blogging that I've done so far.
Coverage: This section shows all of the blogs that include a quote from the required readings and that link back to the designated class web page for that reading.
- Frost: After Apple Picking has the link back to the course page and a quote from the poem at the end of the post.
- Foster: Chapter 3 has the link back to the course page so that you can see what the other students in my class have to say as well as a quote within the blog.
- Foster: Chapter 12 includes both of the requirements
Timliness: In this section, I included all of the blog posts that I've gotten in on the expected date as well as blogs that were more involved but a day or two late.
- Steinbeck: The Grapes of Wrath (Part 1) was posted the day after the expected date but was longer and more insightful that most of my other blog posts.
- F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Great Gatsby (Part 2) was also posted a day late but was more extensive than the majority of my other posts.
- Foster: Chapter 12 was posted on the expected due date
Interaction: This section includes the blogs and/or comments that I have posted which began an 'outside of the classroom' conversation.
- Steinbeck: The Grapes of Wrath (Part 2) spurred some conversation between me and a fellow student.
Depth:In this section, I attached the blogs that I had some added 'depth' in.
- Steinbeck: The Grapes of Wrath (Part 1) had some insightful opinions on symbolism and foreshadowing.
- Foster: Chapter 18 included an interesting question dealing with the forms of symbolism Foster discussed within this chapter.
- F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Great Gatsby (Part 1) also posed an interesting question about a current issue and the author's possible opinions.
- Frost: After Apple Picking brings in the realization of how true this poem really is to everyone's life in one way or another.
- Steinbeck: The Grapes of Wrath (Part 2) brought up 'outside of the box' thinking on symbolism in the last portion of the book.
Discussion: This section includes the links to any comments I have made on my classmates blogs.
