Freshmen: Today we focused on the first step of our seven-step essay process by taking the ideas for possible essay topics that you generated yesterday, choosing one, and defining it clearly as a topic. We then began Step 2, talking about all the different forms of information about your topic you need to start collecting: data, stories, quotes, numbers, surveys, just to name a few. New week we will continue with Step 2 and a technique we will call Question Based Research Strategy. For homework, you need to read twice for 20 minutes, work on chapter 1 vocabulary, start gathering sources about your topic, and bring your 3x5 cards next period.
Sophomores: Today we covered some basic literary terms and continued with focusing on schema connections. Here is your homework timeline:
-9/8 = Chapters 1-23 in Pi due.
-9/10 = 3 Facts assignment due.
-9/11 = Chapter 1 vocab due.
-9/14 = Creation Myth Essay due.
CNF: Today we applied some of the concepts from Chapter 1 by thin slicing a few interviews with couples and individuals' bedrooms, and by taking a version of the Big 5 Inventory. Have a good weekend. We will start Chapter 2 next week.
