Tuesday, October 13 and Wednesday, October 14

I almost forgot: Utah 31, OSU 24.

Freshmen: Today we continued the second step of our Seven Step Essay as we continued to gather information. The expectation for you is that you come to class on Monday an expert on your chosen subject - your surveys should be quantified, your interviews completed, and your index cards filled out. As stated in class, if you can't answer a question, move on. If you come across important information that you hadn't anticipated asking a question about, write it as a main idea on one side of your index cards with the supporting details on the other side. You should read for 20 minutes each night of the break, and this research counts for that time if you choose. Also remember to study on Membean for 20 minutes this week; there will be a quiz on Monday.

Sophomores: Today we focused on conclusion techniques as well as blending quotes and citing sources into your writing. Your task is to take your best lead, support your thesis with evidence from the text, and write your essay over the break. It is due on Monday. Also remember to study on Membean for 30 minutes this week; there will be a quiz on Monday.

Honors Sophomores: Today we focused on various lead and conclusion techniques for you to use henceforth in your essays. Read, read, read, and work on your essays. Also remember to study on Membean for 20 minutes this week; there will be a quiz on Monday.

CNF: Today we had a fascinating discussion on the data from our survey on cheating. Thanks for your good thoughts.
