Freshmen: Today we started on Step Four of our Seven Step Essay Process, which has to do with crafting a lead and designing a plan for your essay. We did not get all the way through this today, so we will carry it over to tomorrow and I will post more info then. The homework is 20 minutes of reading and vocab Chapter 3 is due tomorrow.
Sophomores: Today we continued an extension of two of the major structures of the class, reading using the observation, induction, and thesis technique and focusing on how a character's belief acts as a guiding principle in his or her life. As an extension of the exercise we did with Cry, the Beloved Country, you were assigned a film and essay project, which you have four weeks to do - it is due November 7. Due for Friday is Chapter 3 vocab and Chapters 1-12 in The Power of One.
CNF: Today we wrote an essay in class that essentially answers the question, Does Gladwell accomplish the three tasks he sets out to accomplish in the Introduction of Blink? Bring Blink Friday, as well as Freakonomics if you have it.
