First Post Due. Tuesday, by 11:59PM

Overall, setting up our Blogs was not a tragic experience. Most of you were able to make your Blogs at home and I am proud that you took the time to follow the PowerPoint and figure out the quirks. We explored some interesting topics today in class and had great class discussions. It was so nice to hear some of your "controversial" views. It was also really nice that some of you brought Mrs. Das from Interpreter of Maladies into our discussion. That is just a little preview of some of the themes that we will explore while reading A Doll's House.

Now that you have created your very own blog, you are ready to write and publish your first post...

You can begin your first post by introducing yourself and stating what you have liked the most about our English class this year. Then, I want you to do some research on the author of A Doll's House. Therefore, you need to provide us with some facts on Henrik Ibsen. Explain how you think the title of the play relates to what the play may be about or how it may even relate to the author. Also, what themes and symbols does the play focus on? This can be done in two paragraphs. Remember, you MUST have minimal grammatical mistakes. Luckily Blogger already has a spell check option incorporated into their system, so use it! Please cite your information because if you do not, then it is plagiarism and you will not receive credit for your work. Simply including the link(s) at the end of your post will do. Also, you are not copying and pasting the information you find. You are paraphrasing!

Want to get creative? Add some pictures and even videos. Just remember that it must be relevant to what you are writing about/discussing.

Thursday we will begin the play and you will LOVE it!

Any questions? Hit the "Student Opinions" button and ask away.



ps: You do not need to comment on Blogs for this assignment. 

pss: Do NOT forget to complete VISUAL VOCAB for Act I.

Have fun! :)

  6. I think this play has to do with a long lasting relationship and then falls apart slowly. I think the theme of this story has to do with a family and the daughter has a doll house and doesn't want to get rid of it or she has a long relationship with the family and something goes wrong
