Blog Set #1: For your first blog entry, set up your welcome/introduction page. Who are you? You don't need to identify yourself by more than your first name, and you need only share as much information on-line as you're comfortable with, but give the reader some sense of what kind of reader is behind the blog. Questions you might consider: What interests you about science fiction, fantasy, or horror stories? What do you want to get out of LIT2310? What are you hoping to accomplish for the semester? What's your reading/viewing wish list?
*Email me the link to your blog!
Blog Set #2: Consider the course essential question: In what ways does science fiction reflect humanity back on itself? Using "Passengers" by Robert Silverberg and Nancy Kress' "Out of All Them Bright Stars," discuss how alien encounters are portrayed and how you interpreted the human-alien interactions. Did the background information found on p. xii-xviii help you better contextualize the story? How? What did these stories make you consider about the human condition and humanity's future?
*Remember to post before noon on Wednesday and to read and comment on two other class blogs before our next class meeting!
