April assignment

In April, we will ditch the internet and return to the technology of the early 1900s, the time of Clara and Esteban and magic.

Instead of keeping a blog, you will track The House of the Spirits in a log. (A blog, in case you didn't know, is just a web-log, as it was originally called.)

On Wednesday, April 4, have a log prepared, following these instructions:
  • Take five sheets of paper* and fold them in half. You now have a small, 20-page log.
  • On the cover, neatly write your name (in small print) in one of the corners.
  • On the inside front cover, neatly write "Quotations" (in small print) centered at the top .
  • Leave the next page blank. This will be your title page.
  • On the first interior page, neatly write "Rosa the Beautiful" (in small print) centered at the top.
  • Continue neatly with all the chapter titles on subsequent pages, ending with "Epilogue."
  • You should have two pages remaining: the inside back cover and the back. Leave those blank for now.
* use either lined paper or blank printer paper, but understand that you will write inside this log; if you use lined paper, you will have to write sideways.

Further instructions will follow. If you have questions about the above, ask before Wednesday.

The instructions are a little confusing.
Could you show us in class, how to make this old-fashioned log?
Thank you!

If I have time, I'll show you in class. Otherwise, stop by before or after.

Can we get a bit creative with this? :D

This log idea actually sounds like fun, a good change from the blogs.
