For Monday, please write two pages on one of the following prompts:
1. What makes something a good book? What makes it literature? Use examples from your own reading to support your answer.
2. What types of things should we be reading in English class? Why? Should this include things other than traditional texts? Why or why not?
3. Why do we study some books and not others in schools? Do you think the choices for school are good one? What, if anything, would you add to the curriculum?
Please submit this assignment to me via email to [email protected]. Please send your paper as an attached Word document. If you do not have Word, please use Google Docs, and be sure to send it to me as a Word doc, not an HTML attachment.
