Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 101 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start those conversations BEFORE we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

Welcome!

Hi all:

For this first week+ on the blog, I'd like you to respond to the syllabus and ask any questions you might have about it or the class. Feel free to share anything about yourself that you'd like and feel free to respond to your classmates' comments too (you get credit for posts AND responses to classmates' or my posts). Starting the week of 2/08, you will be required to make AT LEAST two entries per week on the reading and other class matters (we will be starting Henry Miller's The Colossus of Maroussi that week).

Here's to a good start to our semester!

best,

jt
