World Vision Blog

Your blog this week will cover the "World Vision" writing assignment for the Independent novel unit.

After reading a novel (or two) and three short stories by an author, what do you think the author's world vision is?  In other words, what do you think he/she wanted readers to take from his/her writing?  You've uncovered the various "common threads" between the works, but now your task is to uncover the meaning or purpose of the work - that umbrella that envelop all other aspects of your author's work.  Everyone has something to say, so what is your author's world vision, and what message is he/she sending to readers?

This post will be due at the regular time - Friday by 4pm!

Oh, Joyous Monday!

This is the game plan for today:

-Journal Entry - Now that you have finished reading your independent novel and your author's short stories, you should be thinking about the "common threads" between the two works in order to prepare for your paper.  For this journal entry, create an outline for your Common Threads paper so that you have some direction in your writing before we go to the library to begin typing.

-Your blog for this week will be to post your perception of your author's "world vision"; what message do you think your author wanted to leave with readers?

-Your Common Threads paper will be due on Wednesday, so utilize class time today and tomorrow to work on it!
