Freshmen: Today we learned 5 different lead techniques for writing essays: quote, anecdote, background, news, and announcement. You must pick two of these and write two separate leads for your essay. It must be typed for credit. Tomorrow in class we will decide which lead is the best way to go. Also, be sure to read for 20 minutes. Chapter 2 vocab is due next Friday.
Sophomores: Today we focused on imitating some rhetorical devices Martel uses in Life of Pi, mainly his use of repetition and use of lists. Part II of Pi is due next block, and Chapter 2 vocab is due next Friday.
CNF: I felt we had a fascinating discussion/seminar on Chapter 3 of Blink. We will work toward concluding the book in the next few weeks, so get a copy of Freakonomics ASAP.
