Freshmen: Today we introduced the Letter to the Editor assignment. Your assignment over the next couple of days is to read letters to the editor in the Tribune either in the paper or online, and make note of which 3 are your favorites. You might even post a response to some online. This is due Monday. Your letter to the editor is due anytime to me before Thursday, October 22 - but don't wait until the last minute. We also did a vocabulary assessment - you need your vocab books on Monday. Read for 20 minutes tonight.
Sophomores: Today our essential questions are: What are the common elements of most creation myths? And, What does this reveal about humanity as a species? To answer this we watched part of an interview with Joseph Campbell, and you are to find, read, and print a creation story from two different cultures (this means you find two stories total, right?). The stories are due Friday, and we will conclude the interview then, and from there you will do some writing. You need Life of Pi for Monday. You also must read the introduction for the Tao te Ching for Monday, and we will have a quiz on that day. If you don't have the correct copy, borrow someone's.
CNF: Issue number one: What is your homework? Wrong! Oh - wait, you were correct, it is to prepare for the game we are playing on Friday, and to get a copy of Blink for Monday. Issue number two: What book will we read on Monday? Wrong! I just love doing that.
Today we watched an episode of The MacGlaughlin group, took some notes, debated some things, and in general, had a very intellecutally stimulating time. I hope you're having a good time.
