As I Lay Dying Assignment

You should be finished reading As I Lay Dying by Tuesday, February 2, 2010. Expect a quiz on this day.

By Wednesday, February 3, 2010, you need to complete a Ning post for a character from As I Lay Dying. You can write about anything (a day at school, what happened at work, something you saw on tv, etc.), but it must be written from the point of view and in the voice of one of the characters of As I Lay Dying. Your post should be roughly 300 words in length (it can be longer, but not shorter). Post your work as a reply to the discussion "As I Sit Blogging" on our Ning group: http://englishbaione-doda.ning.com/group/12thgradeapliterature/forum/topics/as-i-sit-blogging.

Be thoughtful, creative, and have a sense of humor about this. Your grade will be based on how thoughtfully you have tried to recreate the voice of your chosen character. Good luck!

Today in class, you will continue to research for your Existentialist/As I Lay Dying paper. I would like to see at least one of the following:
  • Three more bookmarks with highlighting/annotations.
  • Thorough annotations on one of the sites you have already bookmarked
  • A paragraph explanation of your understanding of the topic you have been researching
