This project was a very interesting way of doing an ISU. The blog concept had both its pros and cons. The obvious con for me was the fact that I did not have internet for the first month that this project was assigned, this created a problem because this project had to be done on the internet. However once I got internet in my home I really began to appretiate why the project was assigned this way. It felt more casual, in that, I could write half of a post and come back to it later. I can not normally write in this fashion, if I feel that it is an overly formal piece of writing I have to sit down and write the entire thing in one go.
I liked that our process could be seen by other students as we went. When this idea was first proposed I hated it, however once it was in practice, I could certainly see the merits of it. Getting imput from various people was helpful because that way I got mixed feedback, which was nice because I am used to hearing critics from only one person. By recieving imput from various people with various learning styles I could take a deeper look at my own work, with different points of view.
If I could go back and re-do this project I would have chosen a more critically acclaimed novel because, although I enjoyed 40 Words For Sorrow, it tended to be more difficult to write about then what a more famous book might have been, especially for its significance.

I read this last, so I see you agree with me that genre fiction has a limited appeal for academic study.
It's interesting that you came to appreciate the interactive process. I think this is very valuable to analysis since it is more dynamic--it is another way to progressively think about the text.
