Thursday, October 30

Freshmen: Today we focused on Step Six of our essay process - Clarify and Tighten the Information. This is the revision stage, and what we focused on more than anything else is this: The surest way to improve your writing immediately is to read your work out loud to yourself. This will help you catch awkward phrases, missing words, and unclear phrasing more than any other technique. You need to revise your essay and be able to access an electronic copy here at school. Read for 20 minutes and work on Membean as well.

Sophomores: Today we took some time to read The Alchemist and focus on the Tao te Ching as a work of literature. Part I, 1 Echo, and 2 3EJ entries are due Monday, along with Membean.

Honors Sophomores: Today we talked a bit about Arthurian Legend and how it relates to The Power of One and got some reading done.

CNF: Today we concluded The Armstrong Lie.
