The Norton Anthology of Western Literature, vols. I pp 816-824 & 926-1018

The blog must contain these four elements: 
1. A 450-550 word analysis of the readings that addresses a theme or some other prominent feature of that reading. A theme is a broad idea, message, or moral of a story. The message may be about life, society, or human nature. Themes often explore timeless and universal ideas and are usually implied rather than stated explicitly.

2. You must make an explicit (clear, direct) connection between the readings in the blog. For example, your blog post should cover works from the ancient world by Virgil, Plato, Sophocles, and Euripides. When creating your post, you’ll want to identify themes that each work shares. You might, for instance, want to explore the advice each piece offers about the nature of humans’ obligation toward one another. Does Medea value duty to her family in the same way as Antigone? What might Plato have to say about this? Think critically and creatively and aim to offer thoughtful, insightful analysis.

3. You are also required to include a multimedia connection in your blog post. This should be a fun process and the item (s) you select for inclusion should demonstrate the connections you’re making between reading and the larger world. You might choose to include images (photos, drawings, paintings, etc.), video clips, or audio clips. Using sites like Google Image, YouTube, or Flickr will be useful for this process. The blog feature on Canvas allows you to directly embed these items.

4. Finally, your blog post should make a connection between the reading you are discussing and the contemporary world. This might become part of your analysis, or it might be a suggestion for further reading (in the form of a hyperlink).
