Freshmen: Today we finished our study of basic narrative text structure and focused on activating our schema to make connections. The three types of connections we have studied are text to text, text to self, and text to world. As you read this week, actively make connections. Read 20 minutes Tuesday and Wednesday. Chapter 3 vocab is due Friday. Due Monday is your essay in a stamped envelope, addressed to a potential publisher. Remember, letters to the editor are due no later than October 22.
Sophomores: Today we focused on the thinking skill of analysis and synthesis - breaking things down into their parts to study them and putting them back together to make new meaning. This is the same kind of thinking you engage in when you read, do something like the triple entry journal, the Echoes of the Tao, or the This I Believe assignment you just got. Due for Friday is Chapters 1-7 in Power; Chapter 3 in vocab.
CNF: Finish all of Blink - Chapter 6 and the conclusion - and have 15 notes for the seminar on Thursday. There will be a written exam on Friday. We will start Freakonomics on Monday.
