  4. No Ivy, you are supposed to respond to poems, plays, novels, and short stories on the blog as you read them. The blog is principally a forum for discourse. I expect you to engage your classmates in discussion about what you have read, especially so when you have missed class. Questions are posted to guide your reading and for me to see how well you have understood what you have read.
    As I have said repeatedly in class, BLOGGING IS FACTORED INTO YOUR GRADE.
