Thursday, October 25

First off - Let's Go, Utes! We will finally break through, 24-14 against Cal.

Freshmen: Today we talked about the seventh step in our seven step essay process: Edit, polish, and publish. This is what you are to do: Make sure your essay conforms to standard form and standard spelling and punctuation. Here are a couple of things to be sure of: Have a header with name, date, lead and conclusion techniques, and your original, goal, and actual word counts. Have an interesting title top and center that is not formatted differently than the rest of your text. Be sure you double space consistently throughout and do not add extra spacing between paragraphs.

Go to easybib.com and create your bibliography. It should be the final page of your essay and be a separate page from the rest of your text.

Submit your essay to turnitin.com by 8 AM on Monday, 10/29. Also bring a paper copy to class. To submit it to turnitin.com, you must have the password, which is Judge (with a big J). The class ID numbers are 5458123 (period 1) and 5458128 (period 2).

Finally, read for 20 minutes twice over the break. The First Marking Period and your reactions are due on Monday. Vocab chapter 4 is due on Thursday.

Sophomores: Today we talked about echoes of the Tao we see in The Power of One and some ideas from your Triple Entry Journals. Finish the book for next Friday, with your Triple Entry Journal and your chapter reactions. Vocab chapter 4 is due on Thursday.

CNF: Today we had a seminar on Chapter 1 from Freakonomics.
