Freshmen: Today we took Step 3 in our essay process, Focusing the Data. We looked at all the data we collected, decided what it told us, and phrased that as a clear, arguable, and supportable thesis. For example, my thesis was The driving age needs to be raised to 18. Other students' were things like: Human activity is endangering large, wild cats; Cell phones should be banned for all drivers under 25; The death penalty is cruel and should be abolished. And so on. We also took a quiz on Chapter 3 from Elements; finish Chapter 4 for Thursday. There will be a quiz. There will also be a quiz on Chapter 3 from the vocab book.
Sophomores: We continued with our film study activity. Remember, your This I Believe activity is due Friday; keep working on your 3EJ and your Echoes of the Tao as well. Chapter 9 was due today from Power; Chapter 12 is next Monday.
