This page is for the Advanced Placement Literature students of Mr. Barrows at Centaurus High School to share their ongoing musings on the serialized saga of Charles Dickens's "Hard Times," which first appeared chapter-by-chapter in a Victorian-era magazine.Mr. Barrowshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02246954794825852474noreply@blogger.comBlogger31100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229206575849806102.post-35945268775660664822012-02-08T17:16:00.000-08:002012-02-08T17:17:54.311-08:00Good work everyone!

Please follow the same format for chapters 7 through 12 as you did for the first six chapters. Remember that we need comments and analyses of all the new characters who are being introduced, as well as other pertinent insights that come to mind. The due date is Thursday, February 2. Continue to be respectful of others and have fun exploring the book and your ideas!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4229206575849806102-1387502822420167854?l=hardtimesforaplit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mr. Barrowshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02246954794825852474noreply@blogger.com60tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229206575849806102.post-57225669655683313762012-01-07T10:21:00.000-08:002012-01-25T14:21:22.781-08:00Welcome! Remember to write two comments on the first six chapters of "Hard Times" by Thursday, January 19. Read your classmates' comments and make sure the study guide questions on the class handout all get covered, and make sure one of your own comments reacts to someone else's observations, while your other comment brings up new ideas of your own. Also make sure to quote the text directly at least once. Have fun!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4229206575849806102-5722566965568331376?l=hardtimesforaplit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mr. Barrowshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02246954794825852474noreply@blogger.com62
