Freshmen: Today our focus was on conclusions and how to craft them in free verse poetry. Please revise your previous two poems for this principle, and then craft a third original poem that adheres to the four principles of free verse that we've covered. Please also read twice over the long weekend for 20 minutes.
Sophomores: Today we had a quiz and discussed one method of interacting with the text in preparation for our first seminar. Please have a dozen notes for Part I of Life of Pi. These notes should reflect what you were thinking about as you read Part I, and may take the form of either statements (observations or ideas) or questions that you would like to discuss. Please note the page number that coincides with where you had that thought, the passage that inspired it. See the reading schedule for Life of Pi that I have posted as well.

Remember, your first essay on Foster's text is due on 9/11, so you should be reading the assigned chapters from his book as well.
CNF: Today we had a seminar on the Introduction and Chapter 1 from Blink. This weekend, please go to http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/ and take the Big Five Personality Test referenced in Chapter 1. Write down the results. If you would like, please have someone (friend, parent, sibling) take the quiz as well, answering for you rather than for themselves. Then compare how you see yourself compares with how they see you.
