What's more important the book or our interpretations of the book? Can there be a book without there being interpretation? We'll be able to answer some of those questions after we've recorded the history of our relationships with our books.
You will write your own blogs and respond to your blogs as prescribed by your homework blog entries. You should not approach each blog the same way. With variety comes varied thought; therefore, I hope you focus on different topics and take different approaches in each entry.
Here are your possibilities:
-Respond to the text through an AP Exam vocabulary word:
The author uses personification to develop a story with important connections to human work ethic. Having pigs as home owners may at first seem ridiculous, but the reader quickly learns that the pigs are reflections of our own frailties and strengths in a world "huffing and puffing" with danger.
-Respond to the text personally:
I never had my house blown down by a wolf, but I have felt loss. For example, I once abandoned my favorite apartment. I left most of my furniture there, some clothes, even a television!
-Connect text to another book, a film, work of art, a comic or any other creation:
The Three Little Pigs reminds me of The Matrix. When the Wolf "huffed and puffed and blew his house down" he acted just as Morpheus did for Reeve's character. Suddenly, Reeves was without the security he once felt.
-Analyze a question that you have or is raised in the book:
What might the grandmother represent? Why would the Wolf want to blow down the houses? How might I write a better ending?
-Visual Vocabulary
Select the words you think it was important to define in the text. Match a picture to it on your blog post.
Lastly, you might want to use hyperlinks - the 21st century's answer to footnotes when you're talking about something that is not common knowledge.
Focus your each response on one of the choices above. We'll take a look at them in class and in conferences.
