ENG 4U1--Hey 4U1!

Thanks for locating this site. Just to make sure you can access this blog, and so we can learn a little more about you, please answer the question that I mentioned in class: if you could be an animal, what kind of animal would you be and why? (If you're one of the couple people who already answered on Ms. Schwartz's blog, my apologies, but we'd love to hear from you again!)

ENG 4U1--Blogging Assignment

Hi 4U1

Please be informed that I'm moving the due date for your first blog to Tuesday, Feb. 17 in consideration of the change in blogging directions (i.e., you're using this page now, not Ms. Schwartz's). Early responses are, however, always appreciated.

For the assignment, choose ONE of the following topics; remember to offer 5-8 sentences in your well crafted response:

1. Identify an essay we read in class that you think was particularly effective and convincing, and explain why you think the author made his/her case well.

2. What are the potential dangers in using satire to get an urgent point across? If you had to convince people to act on an important issue, would you take an approach similar to Swift's or would you take a more direct one?

Thanks!
