Freshmen: Today we wrapped up reading the packet of excellent essays I gave you. Tomorrow we will discuss those things you noticed that made the essays so good. You should read for 20 minutes tonight, and as part of that, should finish reading Chapter 1 from They Say I Say. If you want, you can do Exercise #1 and/or #2 at the end of Chapter 1 for extra credit. It must be typed for credit. Also, because you have retreat next week, the day of the vocabulary test will depend on the day you have retreat. If you're going on retreat on Friday, Chapter 2 vocab is due on Thursday for you and we will take the test that day; if you are going on retreat on Thursday, the test will be on Friday.
Sophomores: Today we focused on a couple of This I Believe essays that tie in thematically with Life of Pi and wrote a practice This I Believe essay from the point of view of Pi Patel. Part II is due this coming Monday; your essay is due next Wednesday; vocab Chapter 2 is due on Friday of next week.
CNF: Today we began reading Chapter 3 from Blink. We're shooting for a seminar on Monday.
