Thursday, August 30

Most importantly, this week's prediction: Utah 35, Northern Colorado 7. Let's go, Utes!

Freshmen: Last period we focused on the importance of using "I" in your free verse poetry; today we focused avoiding participles, as they are a verb form which obscures the actors in a poem. Your task tonight is to revise your current poem for anything that you find will improve it, but most especially for using I and avoiding participles. Read for 20 minutes, and don't forget that vocab is upcoming.

Sophomores: Today our focus was on the common elements we found in the various creation myths you researched, and what those common elements reveal about human beings. Remember, Book I from Life of Pi, and 12 seminar notes, are due next Wednesday, 9/5.

CNF: Today we focused on finishing the Introduction and Chapter 1 from Blink; we will have a seminar on the reading on Friday.
