Literary Salon is On!

Student Blogs are Up!

You are now an interactive scholar in a LITERARY SALON.
What is a literary salon?
A virtual meeting place for language lovers!

As part of your literary salon requirements, you must provide opinionated commentary on literary matters. Besides posting daily blogs on your reading (including direct quotations with page numbers and analysis), you must comment on at least one of your classmates' blogs every day (more comments, more credit).

To Read Your Classmates' Blogs, check out the following links:
