Hey Guys,
I just wanted to say the presentations are , in my opinion, the best part of the whole class! I learned a lot just through watching and participating in them and it would have been kind of interesting to do these more towards the middle of the semester. I thought they were all great, but my favorite was the word and drawing pictures one. I have a lot of fun drawing and I thought it was just a really creative exercise.
(I'm not sure if we are supposed to put this here, but...) My project was with Louisa, Al, and Christina. We decided to create a blog as if the characters in the novel were writing it and answering one of Professor Dalke's posts. We also responded with our own ideas about the post and some random people actually found our blog and participated too, which was something we had hoped for. In class we wanted to have people be characters from our blog and try to figure out who was saying what. There was not enough time, but we also wanted a discussion to occur about the topic (religion: a theme throughout all three novels) and blogging.
