Freshmen: Today we talked about conclusion techniques to try and moved on to Step Five, Drafting and Developing the Information. In other words, writing your essay. Your essay is due on Tuesday, 10/23. These are the requirements: Have a clear thesis; include the lead and technique you're using in your header; include some summary of, and some quoting from, your sources using the techniques and templates from They Say I Say; use at least one one-sentence paragraph; and remember, while it's about depth and not length, most good essays are 8-19 paragraphs. Read for 20 minutes four times over the break.
Sophomores: Today we had a short lecture on King Arthur and Merlin, as Doc is a direct reference to Merlin. We focused the rest of the time on reading; check the schedule and stay on pace; keep working on your film essays.
CNF: Today we watched a section from the movie Freakonomics about cheating and corruption in sumo.
