Freshmen: Today we focused on how illustrative and descriptive essays make abstract concepts concrete. We viewed a documentary where a man attempts to make concrete the sheer number of victims of the Holocaust by attempting to count out 6 million grains of rice. We then wrote an in class essay on the following prompt: In Speak, Melinda feels isolated and lonely. Is her isolation self-imposed, or is it imposed by those around her? We used specific examples from the text to make the abstract concept of isolation concrete.
Sophomores: Today we focused on om/aum, as it contains the key to understanding both the character and the text Siddhartha.
CNF: We nearly finished our viewing of Hoop Dreams - we will conduct a seminar on Thursday for the film.
Basketball: Practice ends at 5:30 tonight. Meet at 5 to 4 tomorrow; bus for Highland leaves at 4. There is no bus back to Judge.
