Freshmen: Today our focus was on formatting free verse poems. In general, spell, capitalize, and punctuate according to standard English usage rules. Do not center your poem - use a hard left margin and a ragged right margin. Single space within stanzas and double space between them. Do not enlarge or bold the font of your titles. Most importantly, break your lines and organize your stanzas purposefully, paying attention to the white space, format, and sound of your poem. Your homework is to revise your two current poems according to this principle, and craft a new one based on a first hand experience that adheres to the five princes we've covered. Read for 20 minutes twice over the long weekend, and conclude your work on Membean by midnight Sunday.
Sophomores: Today we focused on the notion of personal belief and explored the website www.thisibelieve.org. Your homework is to finish up the week's work on Membean, finish Part I from Life of Pi for Tuesday, conclude your notes on Part I for Tuesday, and by September 11 complete your This I Believe work sheet.
CNF: Today we continued practicing thin slicing.
