Freshmen: Today we studied the sonnet. You should write a sonnet that adheres to the information we got in class for Monday. Use your notes to help you. Additionally, you need to have three possible broad topic ideas for your Capstone Project with you in class next block period. Finally, you should read for 40 minutes over the three day break - two 20 minute segments for Thursday, and the weekend. Also, due for Monday are two great thoughts - one from someone else, and one of your own devising. The 4th quarter prayer assignment will be modified like this: You will be called on at random to spontaneously lead the class in prayer and then randomly draw out a great thought from our collection. You will then give a 60 second talk on the topic that the great thought speaks to.
Sophomores: We did a few activities to begin Hamlet. We will start reading the play after the break. More pertinent to your immediate future, we began an "I Remember My Father" essay modeled after Mr. House's, using the memories we compiled in class as our observations. Submit this essay to turnitin.com by 3/31 at 11:59 PM. I would expect to see some really great stuff written here. The idea is to examine memories you have about your father, much like we did with Amir and Baba. Your essay should do the following things: Focus on specific memories, reveal the nature of your relationship with your father, reveal something about the kind of person your father is, and reveal something about the kind of person you are because of that relationship.
CNF: We concluded, and began, another documentary. I'd like people to think about one small change you can personally make. Craig and I took the bus today (not together, nothing planned - he just happened to be on the same bus as me). By taking the bus twice this week, I have reduced my car-related impact on the planet by 40% for this week.
