Freshmen: Today we focused on the first step of our seven-step essay process: Define the Problem. You looked at the list of potential essay topics you generated on Friday and chose one, phrasing it as either a question or a statement and then considered your topic from both the position of writer and reader by answering the following questions: What do I want to know about my topic? and, What does a reader need to know about my topic? These questions will guide our research tomorrow in the library. Your homework is to read for 20 minutes. You can use this time to read Part I (Chapters 1, 2, and 3) of They Say I Say which is due next Monday, October 8. Due this Friday is vocab Chapter 2.
Sophomores: Today we focused on your reactions to each chapter - see the post about it on the blog. We also focused on Hoppie and some issues related to him and wrote a belief statement from his point of view. Continue to read, work on your Echoes and 3EJ assignment.
CNF: Today we finished up Chapter 5 of Blink and will have a seminar next period.
