Freshmen: Today we began the research phase of the Capstone Project. You should not do any writing during this time, you should simply be collecting information. Today we reviewed Question Based Research Strategy, which entails you writing authentic questions on one side of a 3x5 card (one question per card, only), and using those questions to guide and drive your research. You should then write brief answers on the back, with the source listed as well.
We also are going to start reading Great Expectations - for now, just get started and we will do more later.
I also asked you to go to this website: http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/semicolons.asp. Many of you have struggled with semicolon use lately, and I would like you to read the five rules and then take the semicolons quiz and write down your answers.
Finally, go to turnitin.com and check out your argument essays. Read the comments, revise, and bring in an annotated copy of your essay on Friday.
Sophomores: Today we got started back with our book. Finish Part III for Monday's seminar.
CNF: Today we focused on the way manhood is defined in our culture, as this concept plays a central role in our next book.
