Instructions for Blog #2

I hope by now you have completed your first Blog and have commented on two other blogs. Remember that you are commenting as your CHARACTER. NOT YOURSELF.

For your next blog, I would like you to look at where your character is at this point in the play. Are you still alive? Are you happy? Sad? Oblivious? Anxious?

Now I would like you to reflect on your characters’ feelings and why you (your character) feel that way. What is happening/ has happened in your life? What do you think is going to happen to you next? Why do you feel this way?

If you are Tybalt or Mercutio, you’re dead. Write your Blog from Heaven. Remember, you now know what is going on between Romeo and Juliet since you’re most likely watching the action from beyond the grave! How do you feel about this?

Your second Blog should be 2-3 paragraphs long. It is due Friday, October 28^th.

FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS OR YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO POST COMMENTS

1) go to your dashboard.

2) find your blog but don't click to open it. Instead, click on settingS then comments.

3) under comment form placement make sure pop up window is selected.

4) save your changes.

Then you should be okay. Remember!! I need to see that you've commented on at least two blogs by Monday!! If you're still having trouble doing them online, please write them out and submit a hard copy.

Instructions for your first blog entry-Step two

Once you have finished your blog, find two people who are writing as different characters. Share your blog's URL with them. Now write two detailed comments (one for each blog, and one paragraph each).

Also, post a comment on this post with the URL to your own blog so I can follow it.

Instructions for your first Blog Entry

Your blog should be divided into three chunks:

1) Re-cap the plot from your character's perspective.

2) State your reactions to the events.

3) Predict what you think is going to happen next AND/OR state your wishes for what you want to happen next.
