Freshmen: Today we talked about participles, how they can weaken your writing, how to recognize them, and how to revise them. Take a good look at your first poem and revise it for participles, or anything else you may feel the need to improve, and bring your revised poem to class next period. Read for 20 minutes Tuesday and Wednesday, and keep working on Membean.
Sophomores: Today we began reading Life of Pi, and we spent a lot of time talking about the implication of the author's note and why a writer might include one. Tonight read Chapter Three and Four, and bring Foster's How to Read to class tomorrow. Don't forget about Membean.
CNF: Today we began reading Chapter 1 of Blink. For homework, I need you to take the Big Five Personality Test found at http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/. It shouldn't take you too long. Please print your results. Then, please have someone who knows you well - a parent, sibling, or friend - take it as well, but ask them to answer the questions about you rather than themselves. For example, instead of reading #1 as "I see myself as someone who is talkative" they should read it as "I see you as someone who is talkative" and then mark it as appropriate. Print their results. Please bring the results on Thursday.
