Online Text for Northanger Abbey

Choose one of the texts we looked at in class, watch/read the materials again, and write a    1.5-2 page analytical freewrite—with examples and reasoning—answering the following questions:

–      Would you consider the text a piece of literature?

–      If you were a teacher, would you assign this “reading” to your students?   Why or why not?

–      What qualities are you looking for/analyzing when you answer the above questions?

Please read posts on both blogs.  Play around with the linking and media within the blog; that is what makes it so interesting as a "text."

New Yorker blogs--a ton of reading and fiction categories.

There is a cool section entitled "read this book if."

Please watch the Taylor Mali, "Totally like whatever" video.
