Welcome to Popular Fiction!

Hi, and welcome! We're going to be doing a lot of work from this online environment, so take a look around to get more familiar with how the blog is laid out.

Please take the form given you in class, and explore what you can do here in the blogger platform. You will be working in small groups to create your own blogs to submit and share your assignments. This semester you will be:
  • Working with small groups, trading off your role as a publisher in that group.
  • Exploring the novels we read by looking at what has been published on the web about them.
  • Finding out more about the authors.
  • Writing book reviews.
  • Filming a short video blurb (vlog) about a Young Adult novel.
  • Responding to the work that other students are doing through class comments.
  • Building your own blogs as a group.
  • Presenting books you've read, and elements of your blog projects.
Everything we do here will be password protected, so once we get set up, I will be giving you passwords to get in to take a look at one another's blogs.
