Freshmen: Today we focused on Step Three of our Seven Step Essay Process. By this point you should have a clear thesis statement (the argument you are going to prove about your topic). Read for 20 minutes Tuesday and Wednesday. Also, if you wish to do an extra credit project, you can write a poem about a time an adult did something kind for you, modeled after "The Gift," which we read in class today. You can also do either or both of the activities at the end of Chapter 2 of They Say I Say. Both assignments are due Friday.
Sophomores: Today we focused on a number of close-reading exercises. Please check the reading schedule for The Power of One. You should be done with Chapters 1-5 for next Monday's seminar. You should have some sort of seminar prep for that day, either notes that you take while you read that reflect what you are thinking as you read in the form of notes and questions, or as a page-long reflection that captures what you think about what you read. You should also have a few entries on your Triple Entry Journal and probably have one Echo of the Tao.
CNF: Today we did a number of activities in order to get ready for reading Chapter 5.
