Lit Essay #1 Thesis Statement

By midnight, Thursday, August 30, please post the title of the book you will write about and your thesis statement for your first independent study. Before you work on your paper this weekend, you may want to read some of your classmates' thesis statements. As you work on your paper, your thesis statement may change, so don't feel that the one you post is etched in stone (or in this case, in cyberspace).

Ghosts Discussion

Post your comments about Ibsen's Ghosts here if you were assigned as an observer, or if you have ideas that you want to add to discussion. Please post you comment within 24 hours after the discussion, and mention the date of the discussion on which you are commenting.

Summer Reading

Please write a comment about your summer reading. Include not only the required reading (Ghosts and the other novel you read), but also what you read for pleasure, whether fiction or non-fiction. Go a bit beyond listing titles; give some of your responses and recommendations.
