This week you have 3 posts and 2 comments. Remember to write two full paragraphs, to make meaningful comments, and to blog THROUGHOUT the week.

• What do you know about England? Don’t look anything up. Just write what you know about England, British history, or British culture. If you don’t know anything, write about why that might be.
• Go to the editorial/columnist pages of one of the British newspapers linked below. Make sure you are on the opinion page. Read one column  (opinion column, not news story) this week, link it on your blog, and write a response. This includes summary and critique. Keep in mind the components of analyzing the logic of an article that we have used (or will use soon) in class. Also compare the column to the American angle on similar world or local issues:

• Free Post- this is your choice and will probably happen every week. Just write. Keep it appropriate, and remember that people are reading it, but other than that, go for it.
• Two comments- These should be at least 3 sentences long and not vague or generic.

If you haven’t done other things that have been requested, such as setting up your about page or fixing the comment settings, please do so now. Be sure to approve any comments that are pending.
