Thursday, October 8

Freshmen: Today we focused on eye fixations and how they (and our schema) influence how we read things in a few activities. Read for 20 minutes and be prepared for the vocab test Friday. Due Monday is another copy of your essay in a stamped envelope addressed to a potential publisher.

Sophomores: Today we discussed Hoppie and the paradox our affinity for him presents: He's a great guy, a person to admire, yet he is blatantly racist. That said, how and why do we like him? Due for Friday are Chapters 1-7 and chapter 3 vocab.

CNF: Today we conducted our final seminar for Blink. Bring the text tomorrow for the written exam - it will focus on Blink's three proposed tasks. We will start Freakonomics after the break.
