"The Flog" or Fleming's Blog is a space designed for students in Mrs. Fleming's classes to reveal their thinking about the variety of texts we encounter throughout the year. My hopes are that this space becomes a convenient and creative way to expand on and enrich our classroom experiences. Maturity and integrity are the expectations for proper use and behavior when blogging. All school terms of use in technology apply when blogging on this site.

Jekyll & Hyde Pre Reading Assignment

You are about to begin reading the infamous tale "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson.  The setting for the story is London, sometime in the 1800s.  The descriptions are those of typical 19th century life.  In order to gain some background knowledge before reading, choose one of the five non-fiction articles I have provided under the title "Jekyll and Hyde Links".  After you have read the article, compose a blog post that includes the following:  Summarize what you have learned, discuss the central point of the article, and explain your reaction to the information you have learned.  Your reaction to the information might discuss how you believe this information might influence you as you read the novella, whether you agree or disagree with certain points, or whether this piece has influenced your ideas on various topics. 

**If at any point you are confused and/or need clarification on this assignment, please leave a comment on my page and I will respond to you.  As always, put your best effort in at all times!!
