Freshmen: Today I taught you about Ken Rand's self-editing technique, The 10% Solution. I am posting the cheat sheet here, so you can do it even if you missed class and the notes. You are to 10% your essay tonight (no reading homework for period 1 on Tuesday - period 6, you still have it), and no reading homework for either class on Wednesday, as this process should take you the better part of an hour the first time through.
Sophomores: Today we read for a bit in class and discussed The Power of One. We then moved into a close reading exercise called a Triple Entry Journal (3EJ), which you will do throughout your reading of this book (and the Echoes assignment - don't forget about that). We also looked at a couple of This I Believe essays and did some studying of literary themes, as well as touched on some themes from the Tao te Ching.
CNF: Today we finished chapter 5 from Blink and prepared for our seminar on Thursday. Get a copy of Freakonomics ASAP.
