Thursday, September 9

Freshmen: We will do the same thing today and tomorrow, since you all will only make one class due to your retreat. We took a vocab exam on Chapter 1, and revisited the ideas we discussed yesterday about format and cutting in poetry. Remember, single space within stanzas (double space between), punctuate and capitalize as you would prose, use a hard left margin, etc. - and remember, when you can't find another word to cut, your poem is probably done. Revisit your previous three poems for these principles, revising as necessary for Monday. Read for 20 minutes Thursday and the weekend.

Sophomores: Today we focused on emerging themes in the Tao and began a semester long assignment: Echoes of the Tao. This will be collected at the end of each quarter. Chapter 1 vocab is due tomorrow, and Part I from Life of Pi is due on Monday.

CNF: Today we thin sliced couples and individuals, based off interviews and bedrooms. We also got a good primer on facial expressions.
