The purpose of this blog will be much like the Frankenstein blog. Each student will be assigned to explore vocabulary used by Austen, as well as the usage of literary elements such as figurative language. You will again be able to earn 10 points per vocabulary/ literary blog post you respond to. Each response must be complete prior to class the following day. The grading rubric can be found on my wikisite. Be sure to read the assignment each day as it will vary.
