Book talk & Indie read.  “Lab” day to work on blog assignment #1.

Notice & Remind:  The main point of your commentary should NOT be a summary of the book, but your views, thoughts on an important topic or theme addresses BY the book.  You also do NOT need to tell how your secondary work you found (art, poetry, song, video, etc.) connects.  The blog reader should be able to make those connections themselves as long as your commentary addresses the point where the ideas “intersect.”
