Blogs cycle Tuesday to Monday, so though they are “due” on Tuesday, you should not be posting on Tuesday unless you are posting for the new week. I should be able to grade them on Tuesdays, so you shouldn’t wait until Tuesday to complete them. The assignment is “do them throughout the week.”

• Discuss what you noticed about British culture and language (British English ) from reading your book. Be specific and thorough and use examples.
