The title of this blog comes from a poem by Grace Nichols, Praise Song for my Mother. The poet explores ideas about love, relationships, and most importantly, identity. I have chosen it because I hope that my readers will use their writing to help follow that good advice.

Blog Jog

We have now finished reading to the end of Part 1 of To Kill A Mockingbird and you will have formed your own ideas about the book: the characters, the themes and the style.  It is now time to pause, maintain and develop your blog and get some good connections going.  This fantastic resource will only yield results if you put in time to make it work.

Your next blog post is entirely of your own choosing, but must respond to Part 1 of the novel in some way.  It could be a piece of creative writing (with the link explained), a series of revision questions of your own devising, a more developed write-up of one of your class activities.  (What about using an animation programme for Mrs Dubose?)  Be creative.

I would also like you to share a link to a good resource that you have found to support your study of To Kill A Mockingbird.  Again, the choice about what to include is entirely up to you.  Perhaps there is another blog you have found with really good ideas, a contextual resource, a study guide.

Finally, I would like you to undertake a bit of a 'blog-jog' around the class.  Go and comment on three blogs that you have not looked at before.
