October 7 and 8

Freshmen: Today we learned two simple methods of planning out an essay, as well as five possible lead techniques and six conclusion techniques. For your essay, you must use one of the lead techniques and one of the conclusion techniques that I taught you. Chapter 4 from Elements is due Thursday; there is also a vocab quiz on Thursday.

Sophomores: We finished the film today and discussed how it helped us understand our book. We also focused on how social change occurs. You must review the notes posted on my blog regarding leads and conclusions to try and use one of them in your film essay. Here's what you need to know as far as due dates go:
1. Thursday: Vocabulary test.
2. Friday: This I Believe assignment due. At least 2 3EJ entries due.
3. Monday: Chapter 12 due.
4. Next Thursday: Be able to access a completed electronic copy of your essay from school.
2 entries for the Power of One due on your Echoes of the Tao assignment.
