Step Two: Read your novel. Once again, trying to complete this project without reading your novel is foolish. I expect you to post two separate responses to your novel as you read: first one midway through your novel and the last one at the end of the novel. First POSTING is DUE April 27th (but you may certainly post before this date). Second POSTING is DUE May 13th.
To Post:
1. You must be an author first (accept my invitation)
2. Click on "New Post" on the home page
3. Title the post with your first and last name
Grading (20pts): posts should be original, complete, and contain the required direct textual evidence. Posts should illustrate students’ opinions and responses to the text that are supported by facts that the student has fully analyzed.

What is Humor?
Humor is "what makes stuff funny" and has the "power to evoke laughter." You will be exploring humor in a novel of your choice.
It is very important that you make wise decisions in this project since this is one of two major projects before the end of the year and it will take you several weeks.
For your individual novel, you get to choose a novel that uses humor. Making a good choice of novel will make this easier for you. Choose a novel that will expand and challenge your humor. Do not choose a novel just because you think it is short; this often makes things more difficult. Do not try to get away without reading the novel. This is a novel project - you need to READ a novel.
