Freshmen: Today our focus was on the first step of our Seven Step Essay Process. Step One is Defining the Problem. You chose a topic based on your list of potential essay topics and framed it as either a question or a statement. Your task is to come up with 12 questions you want to find the answer to regarding your topic. You are to list each one on a separate index card and bring your 12 index cards in to class on Friday. Read for 20 minutes tonight and study on Membean this week.
Sophomores: Today we concluded our Break It Down exercise and began an analytical essay project for Life of Pi. You chose an idea from the novel off a list I provided and began to find passages that deal with that topic. You should have five page numbers of passages that deal with your chosen topic written down for class tomorrow. Study on Membean 30 minutes this week.
Honors Sophomores: Today we continued with Cry, the Beloved Country and our inductive analysis process. We will talk about The Power of One and the film tomorrow. Study on Membean; keep up with your reading from Fosters and The Power of One, and get to work on your film project.
CNF: Today we began Freakonomics.
