Blog+Assignment+for+LIT+260


 * Course Name:** LIT 260 History and Literature of the Holocaust


 * Objective:** Participate in "writing to learn" activities.


 * Description of previous assignment:** Discussion board activity


 * Rationale for assignment revision:** Students become bored by middle of semester with constant use of discussion board; also, I believe some students wait to see what others are saying before posting and repeat what others say.


 * Technology to be used:** Blog [|http://blogger.com]


 * Instructions students will need to use technology:** I will instruct students to go to [|http://blogger.com] and follow the directions there to create their own blog and then send to me their blog address. It will be optional for them to post it for other classmates to read at first.


 * Brief description of content students will need to accomplish assignment (textbook, websites, lectures, videos, resources):** Students will read //Night// by Elie Wiesel and post at least three times: 1) after viewing the supplemental web sites; 2: after reading half of the book; and 3) after finishing the book.


 * Instructions for students to complete assignment:
