Tuesday, October 13 and Wednesday, October 14

This weekend, it'll be Utah 34, ASU 31.

Freshmen: Today we talked about the Second and Third Marking Periods from Speak. You should finish the book for Monday's class, and write a short reflection on the Fourth Marking Period. We also focused further on Step 4, specifically creating a plan and ordering the information for your essay as you envision your essay. Next week we will work on writing the essay, so if you need any more information, now is the time to find it.

Sophomores: Today we focused on Peekay's evolving beliefs, Foster's theories regarding politics and literature, and what truths about life are contained in The Power of One. Read Chapters 9 and 10 for Monday. Also due Monday are your revisions of the essay about Life of Pi. If you are doing a revision, be sure to do the following things: Bring in your original essay, bring in your new essay, and on your new essay, annotate your changes and revisions (that is, make notes on the page about what you changed in your essay). So, for the next several weeks, you should focus on your revision, then your film essay, then your essay about The Power of One.

CNF: Due to the juniors and seniors being gone, we put off starting Freakonomics, and did some other activities instead. We will start full-bore with Freakonomics on Monday.
