You are assigned to read through page 154 of God’s Bits Wood by the Tuesday we return from February vacation. On this blog, I have posted a prompt for each chapter. Read the prompt before you read the chapter. After you finish, respond to the prompt by adding a comment, which should be a solid paragraph. While you should make specific reference to the text, your response should be as much personal as analytical. Remember to sign your comment. Your ideas should be your own and do not need to reference your classmates’ comments, but if you are stuck or looking for inspiration, you certainly can.
Although you may complete the reading and blogging assignment at your own pace, you should plan ahead and spread out the work. The novel is challenging because of the number of characters and locations in which the action takes place. Leaving the assignment to the last minute will prove disastrous to your capacity to understand fully. I have also posted a list of characters as a download on the class page, and the book itself has two useful reading aids: a map of where the action takes place and the table of contents. I am also happy to meet with anyone outside of class to answer your questions.
