Freshmen: On 11/3, we had a discussion about Speak. Finish the book for next Monday. Get Sleeping Dogs soon. On 11/4 or 11/5, whichever day we meet, we are beginning a focus on the rhetorical device of using illustration (that is, examples, not drawings) in essay writing. Read the intro to the device in Models for Writers, and read the essays Be Specific and The Case for Short Words. In Short Words, there is an assignment in the essay using monosyllabic words you must do. It should be typed, use lots of examples, and be at least 5 paragraphs long. Due Friday.
Sophomores: On 11/3 we had our concluding seminar on The Power of One. I think your dialog was insightful and inspired, and left me with a lot to think about. 11/5, we learned about setting and props in stories, started a sequel to Power, and began The Alchemist. Finish Part I for Friday, and finish the book for next Friday. Get Siddhartha ASAP.
