Friday, October 11

Freshmen: Today wrapped up our Seven Step Essay Process by talking about publishing, which of course can take many forms - you've already done this twice with this piece by submitting it to me and sharing it with a classmate. You need to find an outside source to publish your work, too, and submit it to them. You have two weeks - proof of submission is due on 10/25. This can be a publication, a website, a newspaper, etc. Your grade is based only on the attempt, not the actual publication of it. Also, read for 20 minutes this weekend.

Sophomores: Today we started talking about different lead techniques to try with your upcoming essay project. Check the reading schedule; you should finish Chapter 12 for Monday's class.

CNF: Today we began studying the first sub-topic addressed in Freakonomics: cheating. We took a survey, listened to a Ted Talk titled "Our Buggy Moral Code", and listened to Act Two and Three of This American Life's "Getting Away With It."
