Monday, October 25

Freshmen: Today we covered the third step in our seven step essay process: Focus the data. We looked at all our data and answered the question, What is my main argument or message? and then phrased it as a thesis statement. Read for 20 minutes; bring your data to class tomorrow as well.

Sophomores: Today we focused on reading a film scene, focusing on the elements of character, camera, objects, mood, and setting. You should use these ideas as you work on your compare and contrast essay. Keep reading - seminar next Monday - and remember, Echoes of the Tao is due on Thursday. You should have at least one entry for The Power of One.

CNF: Today we focused mainly on how schools can curb cheating. Bring Freakonomics on Wednesday.
