A Blog Question
I know that some students might be wondering about this question too.I was just wondering if the blog has to be about the books we are suppose to read. Does it have to have some connection to the books or should it be taken out from the books itself? i hope this would be a great help to some of the students. Thank you =)

"Right now, just start reading Huxley, Orwell and Postman. Once we get a few chapters under our belts, the conversation will begin."

I believe the discussions must revolve around the two books, and Orwell's article.
The bottom is from the homework packet...
"Start Four Threads
You must start four threads — that is, you have to originate four conversations. When you start a thread, refer directly to what you are reading and the question you want to raise. Because our book paginations will be different, cite the chapter and whether the passage you are looking at is at the beginning, middle or end of the chapter. Give us enough information so we can orient ourselves and figure out what you are looking at. Use your questions from Postman, or use a passage in Huxley; perhaps you will hear or read something that reminds you of what Orwell is talking about in his essay. (In this season of presidential politics and with an ongoing, unpopular war, it is hard to imagine that you won’t encounter a situation where language usage is ridiculously obtuse.) After you have written your thread, but before you post, write a terse, descriptive subject line."
