Tuesday, September 7 and Wednesday, September 8

Freshmen: Today we talked about the importance of format in poetry, as well as the importance of cutting. You should review your previous four poems and revise them for these two principles as needed. Remember, your next period there will be a vocab exam - for some on Thursday, others on Friday, depending on your retreat date - and you should read for 20 minutes Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Sophomores: Today we focused on the idea of belief statements and looked at a couple of essays from This I Believe and applied this idea to Pi. We also took a quiz and shared your Three Facts assignments. Finish Part I from Life of Pi for next Monday (see the reading schedule on this blog). Also, you will have a vocab exam on Friday.

CNF: Today we had an excellent seminar on the first chapter of Blink. Tomorrow, we will practice thin slicing.
