Interested in writing for a blog or starting your own? In this class we will go over all blogging basics - what are blogs used for? how do you choose a host site and set up your page? how do you increase readership? how is blog writing different from other writing? We will look at different blogs and talk about what make some more successful than others. All students will leave having written their own sample blog post.

Topics covered will include the structure of sonnets, the difference between Shakespearean versus other sonnets, and strategies for explicating sonnets for meaning. Students will read several sonnets, and will work in groups to analyze one before class ends, using the newly learned strategies.
