Instructions

We are working on the final debate of the year, and I'd like to ensure that you make slow and steady progress. Every week, I'd like you to post about your topic. I don't care what format you use in your posts, I simply want to see that you are working on and thinking about the issues. Posts can include questions you have, lines of research you plan on pursuing, summaries of or links to articles you have read, etc. It is not a competition about who writes the most. You do not have to cover everything you have done.

I would also like you to help your peers. To that end, please respond every week to one of your classmates' posts with criticism, questions, or suggestions. Again, don't worry about form. Try to use what you know about reasoning, logic, or research to point your classmates in the right direction.

As with last year's literature blog, please include your name in your post. I encourage you to create an account with Google; if you have one, you can sign in and post your comments using your own login and password. The standard login is posted on edline, in case you forgot it.
