READ FIRST: A Note on Responding to The Red Tent

As this is your first time working with our blog, there are some things I want to make sure you know before you start responding.

1. You are not graded on your grammar, punctuation or spelling, but please try to write so that someone as old as I am can follow (I only know so much "text speak").

2. Think about what you want to say before you start typing! Read the prompt and read through the responses your classmates made and then look back at the novel. Try to find details from the reading and incorporate textual evidence into your response. Make it thoughtful and relevant to the prompt.

3. I want you to respond to each other, but I want you to do so respectfully. If you disagree, that is perfectly fine, but be sure you express yourself constructively -- no insulting each other in the blog, please.

And that's it... happy blogging :)
