English 180 - Canadian Literature


3 September 2008

First blog assignment for English 180 Fall 2008

Seeing as we're all going to be reading each other's comments over the next fourteen weeks, let's use the opportunity of our first blog post to get to know each other a bit better.

For privacy reasons, please just use your first name. Do, however, tell us a bit about your background and what you're hoping to learn in this course. Do you have any connections to Canada or anything that especially intrigues you about our northern neighbour? Also, tell us a bit about your favourite writers and/or types of literature that you like to read.

I'm looking forward to our semester together and to having some great discussions with you about the books we'll be reading.

P.S. Just a reminder that to find our full syllabus for the course you simply need to click on the "Syllabus" tab at the top of this frame.

How to post on our blog

I forgot to clarify today how exactly one posts a comment on the blog (i.e. your first blog assignment). To post your introduction, simply click on the
"comment" link at the bottom of that entry from Sept. 3.

That will open up a comment window for you where you will write your response:

To cut down on spam, I've set up our blog so that I will need to approve your comment before it gets posted. So, don't be alarmed if your posting does not appear right away.

Let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to reading your introductions.
