Welcome to the English 485a Blog

My intention for this blog is to provide you with a space to discuss your responses to readings, class discussions, and teaching scenarios. I expect your posts to be thoughtful and to demonstrate your critical thinking skills, and I will frequently use your posts to direct class discussions. You should plan to submit a minimum of ten posts to the blog throughout the semester; your post can respond to another classmate's post or you can start a new topic. You can only receive credit for 2 posts per week, so avoid waiting until the end of the semester and submitting multiple posts to "catch up."

I look forward to reading what you have to say!

Please note that I expect your posts to be thoughtful and to demonstrate critical thinking skills. I cannot, in good faith, give equal credit to a post that indicates an engagement with the reading for the week and to a post that discusses how the temperature of the classroom was unbearable.
