Freshmen: Today we took a look at your essay responses to More, and talked about how to write a piece like this in general. Your job is this: Using the notes you took in class, and the comments posted on your essay on turnitin.com, you are to revise your essay and improve it. Then, on a printed copy of your essay, as neatly as possible, write about the changes you made - where you made them, why you made them, how you made them. This way, a reader should be able to look at the paper copy of your essay and see exactly what you improved and why. This annotated paper copy is due on Monday. Please see the sample essay posted on this blog as a good example of how to do this kind of essay (search "sample More essay"). Your homework is to read for 20 minutes Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, plus once on the weekend. On Tuesday, we will focus on the potential essay topics you have in answer to the questions we focused on last week.
Sophomores: Today we focused on the This I Believe essays you liked. Chapter 5 from The Power of One was due today; more importantly, Chapter 9 and approximately two notes per chapter are due for our seminar next Monday. Make time to read each day.
CNF: Today we tried to finish Blink. Be sure to have Freakonomics for next week.
