September 3, 2008 -- After having read only about four to six chapters of The Catcher in the Rye, what are some of your reactions to the character of Holden Caulfield? How does he proceed through the decision-making process? What are some of his personality traits, both positive and negative? What type of attitude does he have (and how do you know)? In other words, what do you think of Holden?
September 9-15 -- As we finish reading The Catcher in the Rye, it's time to begin thinking about the themes of the novel. What is the point of the book?
October 16-19 -- Respond to one of the statements on The Crucible anticipation/reaction guide. You have already marked if you agree or disagree, so now write about why you chose as you did for one of the statements. What were thinking as you made your choice? Or you might write a personal reaction to one of the statements.
February 23, 2009 -- Nominate at least one of the podcasts for a National Association of Broadcasters Crystal Radio Awards. Of course, this will need to be an award for one of the podcasts you have listened to. To make this process more creative, we will make up our own awards. Possibilities might include "The Wacky Like Robin Williams Award," "Best Use of Sound Effects," "Most Emotional Broadcast," "Most Creative Use of the Facts," and whatever else you come up with. Write a paragraph on our wiki discussion page to nominate a podcast for an original award. You are expected to supply reasons as to why the podcast nominated should receive the award.
