For the writing assignment I would like to create some form of scrapbook describing the characters of the books we read, conflicts they are faced with and the solutions they come up with to overcome the problems. I will also include important historical events that surround the characters of the books and write a brief description of the actual events. Doing this will help me remember and understand the material we read a lot better.
I want to do this for at least the first couple of novels we read and see how well it works out.
I think this is a great plan, especially for the beginning. Perhaps as you move toward the end of the semester, you will be inspired to synthesize what you have written and posted. Were you planning to do this "by hand," of to use some kind of digital application. Depending on what kinds of information you wish to include, there are lots of possibilities. For classic scrapbook, try smilebox.com. There are others who are going to keep different kinds of journals and I'm going to suggest to all of you to look at Evernote (check twitter for message).
