Blog Goal
The goal of this blog is to successfully find, read, evaluate, and cite this reaction to "The Importance of Being Earnest."
Audience
Students will write this blog with several audiences in mind: their classmates, students from another class, and outside readers. To that end, they should begin their blogs by giving their readers a brief summary of what they are doing, why they are doing it, and what they will explain (1-2 sentences).
Structure
Blogs are 200-250 words, or about two or three paragraphs. They are written in a "professional casual" voice: you may use the first person ("I"), you may offer some jokes, you may express some feelings, but you must also remain professional and stay on task.
Read
Some of your blog should summarize the main points of the website (2-3 sentences).
Evaluate
Some of your blog should react to the website by considering the key terms the author uses, such as satire. Connect such terms to a moment you discovered in the text.
Cite
One sentence from your blog should contain a direct quotation. Be sure to cite the webpage correctly and provide a bibliographical citation at the end. You can get these methods from the LaGuardia library homepage. Note the MLA style guide link, which is your friend.
