First Post of the Year!

Welcome!  This is our first blog post of the new school year.  How exciting!  I am currently reading The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury.  I've just started it and am really excited to see how things will turn out!  Once I finish the first chapter, I'll post more!


For YOUR first post of the year, I would like you to write two paragraphs.

#1: ALL ABOUT ME

In one paragraph, please introduce yourself to your audience.  Tell us your name, your favorite subjects, and hobbies, your favorite foods, movies and types of books.  Give us enough details to understand a snapshot of who you are as an individual!

#2: MY CURRENT NOVEL

In this paragraph, you will give a brief summary of your novel.  You may not be finished it yet, but you can outline the basic plot for us.  Think of this "synopsis" as the text you'd see on the back side of a book.  It let's the audience know just enough to get them hooked onto what your reading about.  Please remember to use literary terms when discussing a text: plot, suspense, pro and antagonist, exposition, rising action, etc.
After your paragraph, paste a picture of your novel.  It might be a different cover than your current book, but it'll help us picture your great literary choice!
