First Blog!

Welcome to your first blog posting! You have two choices for your first response. Please remember to consider everything that you write in your blog to be "public". Do not include any information that you are not comfortable with everyone in the class being able to read. Please use proper grammar, punctuation and spelling, and avoid symbols and abbreviations.

Today you will be writing about your chosen song or poem, and you have two choices for your response:

Option 1:

What is your personal reaction to your song/poem? What thoughts, ideas, and/or emotions does it bring out? Can you make any connections between the song and the events or people in your life? Have you learned anything from the lyrics or has your thinking changed? Is there something in it you can relate to? What do you like about it, and what first attracted you to it? How or when did you first hear it?

Option 2:

If the first option requires too much personal commentary for your first blog then you may do the following:

Find another song, photo, drawing, painting, book, or movie that creates a similar emotional reaction in the reader/listener/viewer (remember the assignment you did that discussed the mood/atmosphere of your song), and that has a similar theme. In your blog, explain (in paragraph form) how this book/ movie etc. that you have chosen is similar to your song.
