Freshmen: Today we began a study of what effective essays look like by reading a packet of excellent essays (especially mine - and you know my argument in the essay is spot-on) and identifying what the essay writers are doing that make the essay good. Your homework is to read for 20 minutes tonight.
Sophomores: Today we finished Part III from Life of Pi. Thursday we will conduct a Socratic Seminar on the text, and you need to have the following things finished and with you for the seminar: All the reading (obviously), your seminar prep (that is your 15 questions or comments and the three passages that you really like or find interesting), and your Echoes of the Tao assignment. Bring Life of Pi with you each day the rest of the week, and be sure to have a copy of The Power of One next Monday.
CNF: Today we had an excellent seminar on Chapter 4 from Blink and jammed to Kenna (though he only scored 1.5 on a 4 point scale, poor guy). Bring Coke, Pepsi, and some cups tomorrow for our taste test.
