End of Semester Blogging

Please post on your blog as usual this week, despite the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. The reading for Mon. is Their Eyes Were Watching God, so that should be your subject. You may, however, forego commenting on one another's blogs this week due to the break. I'll grade you based on your post alone.

Mon. 11/26--Please post and comment as usual.

Mon. 12/3--Please post and comment as usual (your subject should be the ending of Their Eyes Were Watching God.

Mon. 12/10--Please post as usual; Since there's no assigned reading, I have a question for you to answer in your posts "Why is studying the Harlem Renaissance still worthwhile in the 21st century?" Please read and comment on one another's blogs as usual since this is your last entry.
