As promised, I'm giving you time in class today to write your blog post.

In your post, make sure you... I've pasted the detailed assignment instructions below from last class period: =Independent Reading= Explore books you'd like to read this nine weeks. Then, write a blog post naming at least three (3) titles you'd like to read. For each, explain what attracts you to the title. You must finish this in class today and post the link on the assignment page.

 * Include COMMENTARY to explain WHY you picked these titles. What interests you about the book? Why did you choose these titles to read?
 * Post the link to your blog post on the assignment page.
