I was thinking about numbers this weekend. Part of that could be because the Browns committed twelve (yes, twelve) penalties this weekend. If that weren't bad enough, they only completed 17-42 passes. Anyway, as I thought about numbers and attempted to get past these woes, I remembered an article that I read in college dealing with reading statistics. And guess what? I was able to find this article. It comes from the Washington Post and is titled "One in Four Read No Books Last Year." The article is a little dated, but if we were to extrapolate the data presented over the years since the article has been written we would surely find even more shocking results.
For your blogs this week, you will need to read the article and respond to the following questions:
-What is most shocking to you in the article? Why?
-If you read, why do you? If you don't, why not?
-What is your favorite genre to read? Why?
-What is your least favorite genre? Why?
-Do tablet (iPad, Kindle) affect the amount of reading people do? Why or why not?
Remember, you need to write at least 250 words (shoot for four good paragraphs) and demonstrate good writing conventions.
