Friday, October 2

Freshmen: Today we reflected on all the things we have done these past six weeks: you've learned a solid process for writing essays; you've learned how to conduct research based on questions, and turned that research into a coherent piece of writing; you can form and defend thesis statements based on facts; you know how to write a bibliography; you have a number of ways to open and close a paper; and you can perform the 10% Solution on your work to make it more accurate, clear, and brief. Your homework is to read for 20 minutes.

Sophomores: Today we took a quiz and discussed the first three chapters from The Power of One. Chapters 1-7 are due next Friday - that's about 12 pages a night. Don't forget about the ongoing assignments: vocab, Echoes, and the 3EJ.

CNF: Today we did some wrap up of chapter 5/prep work for chapter 6. If you don't have Freakonomics, get it by week after next.
