This course also includes a blog--a place for all of you to record your responses, opinions, emotions, ideas, about the stories (and films) that you'll be reading in this class.

Blog entries are required for each story we read--but they aren't graded. The blog is a place for personal ideas and reflections, and doesn't have to be strictly academic. All blog entries are open for comments, but the blog is not really the ideal place for discussion. We have the Discussion Boards for that.
