Clue (1985) - The loose end[ing]s

Mystery readers will find this of particular interest, especially those working with Agatha Christie et al. Pay special attention to the mention of the Red Herring, which is not to be confused with the MacGuffin. Enjoy!

CRYSIS 2 -testing-

War/Action is amazing, but Crysis 2 is a mix of both. I recommend you go play that game.

YESSS

first student post!!!! (Ben, I had to.)

A glowing introduction to H.P. Lovecraft

It's hardly "fair and balanced" but this might help those in the Horror groups start to get a handle on Lovecraft. Certainly, the authors and artists that appear would be great choices for further research.

When you blog, you begin with #abc.

One of the challenges we face in establishing and maintaining a conversation like this - across class sections, genres, subgenres, and other special interests - is organization.  Fortunately, there is a fantastic tool at our disposal for just this purpose.  Blogger (and others) calls them labels, and you'll find a list of the ones currently in use on the main page.  For example, you will see that there are several labels already in place that correspond to the three class sections of Senior English, as well as some of the genres that you are reading.


Note:  Each of your posts must be labeled with your section number as well as your genre (and any other relevant labels that come up along the way).


If you cannot find your genre in the labels list, please check again before writing your own.


Once these labels are in place, readers can click on them to automatically restrict their viewing to only posts with those labels.  For example, if the Period 1 Horror group wants to see what the other Horror groups are reading and writing about, they can click on the "Horror" label and see just those posts.  It's an elegant system for managing quite a lot of information on the fly, but it only works if everyone participates.


We'll review all of this (and more!) in class, so relax and keep reading!

And should we now presume? And how should we begin?

In the coming weeks, as you all take ownership of the conversation, this blog will take on a shape of its own.  Until then, I will post some expectations and guidelines to get you started.  Starting next week (April 4th), you will need to post a minimum of three times a week.  That should include one longer written piece (1-3 below), at least one comment (4), and one "other" (5-6).

1. Reflections on your current reading selection(s)
2. Connections to other stories you've read or seen
3. Book reviews/ratings
4. Comments on other posts
5. Video links – movie adaptations, satires, etc.
6. Links to tvtropes.org (relevant to your reading, of course)

Note: you should always include any and all labels relevant to your genre and class period.  This will become clearer with time, but I will also post on this soon.
