Monday, October 19

Freshmen: Today we looked at your essay revisions and started writing a Theme for English 9 poem. You are to model your poem after Langston Hughes's Theme for English B. Keep your first five lines the same as his first five, and from there follow the instructor's instructions: Go home and write a page tonight and let that page come out of you, then it will be true. Your typed poem is due on Friday. For next period you need The Elements of Style and Models for Writers. Read for 20 minutes tonight and tomorrow night.

Sophomores: Today we had a seminar on the first half of The Power of One. Some due dates: This I Believe worksheet due Friday; film essay assignment due Monday; Chapters 1-16 due Monday; vocab chapter 4 due next Friday; keep working on Echoes of the Tao and Triple Entry Journal.

CNF: Today we analyzed the data from the survey we took last week. You will need Freakonomics tomorrow.
