The End
...is in sight. We have finished EOG testing and, in a bit past two weeks, we will finish up our year together.
As a final posting,
1. What types of reading do you expect to be doing next year in class?
2. What types of reading do you intend to do this summer?
3. What book would you recommend to me to read over the summer and why?
Include all three parts in your responses.

May post--limited time only!
In honor(?) of EOGs next week...
Some people claim that standardized tests represent a genre in the same way that mysteries, poetry, or short stories are all genres.
1. What evidence would someone use to support this claim?
2. Do you agree or disagree with this claim?
3. What reading strategies do you employ when dealing with this genre of material?
Answers must address all three questions to count.

May Posting
Now that National Poetry Month has passed, I'd like you to reflect on poetry as a genre. What makes a poem a poem? What is the most important element or defining characteristic of poetry? What ultimately separates poetry from prose? In other words, what is your definition of poetry?
Include an example and a non-example to support your ideas. (If you missed the notes on prose poetry, take a moment to investigate this topic before responding to this post.)
