Monday, October 13

Freshmen: Today we learned about various resources we can access for research. Your job is to come to class on Tuesday with two sources printed or otherwise accessible so you can read it in class and begin the process of filling out your index cards for Question Based Research. Read for 20 minutes; work on Membean for 20 minutes this week.

Sophomores: Today we learned about various lead techniques to use when crafting an essay. Your job tonight is to write two potential leads for your essay on Life of Pi. These leads should be on separate sheets of paper and have correct headers. Include a title if you have a good idea for one at this point. Study on Membean for 30 minutes this week.

Honors Sophomores: Today we focused on reading and talked about some flexibility with your next essay on Foster's and The Power of One. If you choose, you can hand in your essay on the 20th and get credit for first quarter; or, you can hand it in on the 27th and get credit for it for second quarter. Keep reading; keep working on your film project (now due on 11/3) and study on Membean for 20 minutes this week.

CNF: Today we viewed a documentary on the corruption in Sumo - sorry to shatter those long-held beliefs in its purity.
