Freshmen: Today we addressed the question: What is Writing? Along with the various things you all came up with, I added that "thinking on paper" was a crucial way to view writing, and we read a piece by Stephen King where he defined writing as telepathy. So, practice that tonight by reading for 20 minutes, and remember to complete your essay by Monday. By Monday, you need to have submitted your essay to turnitin.com (see details in an earlier post), and you also need to bring a paper copy with you to class on Monday. Vocab is due tomorrow.
Sophomores: Today we self-assessed the essays you wrote on the experience which shaped you as a way to better learn about your own writing (remember, good writers are good self-assessors), as well as to get a better sense of how the rubric works. Due for Friday is Chapter 2 vocab, and due for the next block period is Part II from Life of Pi.
CNF: Today we talked about thin slicing situations, and how structure actually encourages and allows for spontaneity. Tomorrow and Monday, we will read Chapter 4 from Blink and take notes in preparation for our seminar on Wednesday.
