Fifth and final Post ( for now)

So...this is the last and final post...The reason that I started this blog was to get you to think critically about your reading practices and to not only think about what you think, but to listen to others, and respond to what others said. I think that you have done an excellent job and I thank you for your participation.. I am very impressed with your responses.

For the final post, I want you to reflect on the IB works that we have studied this year and respond in terms of your favourites and /or not so favourite and articulate your reasons.
