About the 'Meet the Readers' Project

You will be put in touch with a reader of historical fiction through Manchester Central Library's Facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/manchesterlibraries)

You must interview the reader about their engagement, enjoyment and understanding of historical fiction. You must write a 500 word report about your interview incorporating some theoretical discussion of reception theory.

You will need to post your report on the blog by 29 October:
http://meetthereaders.blogspot.com/
and then respond to your partner's report by the 6 November (your partner will be assigned to you in week 1)

To be able to respond you need to register with blogspot:

  1. Can someone please explain to me how we are supposed to post a Word document with footnotes on a blog? And where are we meant to do it? I don't understand this at all and can't find any useful instructions on Blackboard...

  2. Hello there!

    My Meet the Readers project is posted on my blog (I've found this experience a little confusing too), which is biffertron5000.blogspot.com.

    Hope that's ok?

  3. Charlotte, there's a link on Blackboard called 'Meet the Readers initial submission' - I've been clicking it all day and nothing was happening but now suddenly it's started working. You have to upload it there. Dunno how it generates us a partner or becomes visible on the blog but oh well...
