Second hour's fishbowl #3 over chapters 22-24 of The Kite Runner: Monday, October 31

Happy Halloween morning!

Loved seeing more of your participate in blogging last week.  Let's all give it a try today & see how it goes.

To earn full credit for today's outer circle, be sure to...

• Carefully proofread & polish your work
• Incorporate quotes as you contextualize your questions & defend your claims.  In other words, each time you post, include a quote with your thinking.  Work on rooting your thinking in text.
• Participate thoughtfully throughout discussion's duration.  
• Refrain from negatively affecting the inner circle discussion with, for example, side conversations.

Also, be sure to log into your Google plus account; some of your participated last week but your grade might not reflect that as I was unable to determine who was posting.  

Happy posting!

Morning!

If you are on the outer circle today & choosing to participate by posting on the class blog, please adhere to the following expectations:

1.  Participate throughout the discussion's duration.  I am not looking for a certain number of posts. Afterall, longer posts will take more time to craft than 1-liners.  I am looking, instead, to see that you're focused throughout the discussion's duration & you're consistently participating.
