Freshmen: Today we focused on how free verse poems ought to begin. Your homework is to read for 20 minutes, and to write a free verse poem that begins "in the midst of things" as we talked about today. If the poem you handed in today does not fit this principle, revise it so that it does.
Sophomores: Today we introduced the notion of a Socratic Seminar. For our seminar on Life of Pi, you need to write down 15 questions or comments, and make note of at least three passages that speak to you in some way. These will be due once the book is due. Also for homework, you are to finish Chapter 8 for Friday.
CNF: Today we began reading Chapter 1 from Blink and preparing for the seminar we will have on Wednesday. We will also have time to read in class on Friday. Your homework, however, is to email me a digital photo of your room. Don't clean it up - take it as it is. Don't worry - no names will be used in the activity we will use this for. Also, please go to http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/ and take the Big 5 Inventory test mentioned in Chapter 1 and write down or print your results. Then, have a friend or family member take the test answering about you and compare the results.
