Blog it!

Who are we as a nation?

Consider what you've learned about the dominant philosophical and religious beliefs in early America. The Puritans believe that the world was fallen and that people were sinners who could be redeemed only through the grace of God.

The rationalists believed that the universe was basically good and that doing good for others was the best way to worship God.

How do people today regard the universe and human nature itself? Is our society like that of the Puritans or the rationalists? Can we see both?

Welcome!

If you have made it this far, that means that you are ready to do the first assignment.

I hope that this blog will give you a little more insight into the literature and types of writing that we will be discussing in class. This blog will also give you a place to get classroom announcements as well as get acquainted with the new technology the world is producing!

"Blog it!" will be the title of your assignments. You will also notice that underneath the title will be your assignment for that week. We will try to blog once a week, but as the school year continues, this may increase.

You will be expected to use correct grammar (in other words use complete sentences and punctuation). Even though we are using the Internet, don't use texting or Internet language.

I know you can do it! So, let's try!
