Freshmen: Today we self-assessed the paragraphs you wrote about Gang of Four. We continued our method of thinking through observation, induction, and statement of thesis by watching a short film by Mark Osborn titled "More." We then discussed the concept of a five paragraph essay and an outline as two tools (but not the only!) that you might use when writing. My hope is you quickly move beyond this into more sophisticated waters. Your task is to write a five paragraph essay that answers the prompt "What is the message of the film 'More'?" Be sure to provide an interesting title at the top. The essay, typed and double spaced, is due Friday. Also, you must read 20 minutes Tuesday and Wednesday. Be sure to get a copy of The Elements of Style for next week.
Sophomores: Today we focused on your writing, specifically from the summer reading essays, and addressed areas you can improve in. Check out the post marked Reactions for more info. You have an essay assignment, which you can find on the post Spiritual Journey Essay. A typed draft of this essay is due next Monday, 9/15. I have pushed back the Part II due date for Pi - it is due WEDNESDAY, 9/17. We will finish the book together that day.
