Welcome!

You've found your way to the blog for ENGL 393. This is a place where we will share ideas about the content we encounter throughout the course.

Each student will be added as an author (you will recieve an invitation via your UA email address). When it is your turn to act as a discussion leader, you will author a blog post here by noon on Monday before the class discussion of the readings. You should point us to things of interest in the readings and ask us to respond to critical questions. The rest of the class will add comments to the blog entry; some may specifically respond to your post, others may raise new ideas. In short, it's a place for discussion.

In class when you lead the discussion, you should bring the digital discussion into play (e.g., "Sally said x about this issue on the blog; what do the rest of you think about that?").

You may also author entries when it is not your week to lead discussions. For instance, maybe you have some ideas for your portfolio that you want to share and get feedback on. Please feel free to share those ideas here!

For privacy's sake, you may want to create a separate Google account for these online conversations. Also, please identify yourself only by your first name (and last initial, if we happen to have multiple people with the same first name in the course).

I look forward to discussing ideas with you!
