Freshmen: Today our focus was on Step 3 of our Seven Step Essay Process: Focus the Data. Your job was to finish up your research, look at all the information revealed by your interviews and surveys, as well as what's on your index cards, and based on the information, craft a solid thesis statement that you can then use your information to prove. Remember, a thesis statement is a defensible argument or claim about your topic. It should be short, clear, and concise, and cannot begin with the word "how." Due to some other concerns, we are moving the due date for the letter to the editor back a week. Continue reading Speak. After finishing the Second Marking Period, write a short reflection; do the same thing for the Third Marking Period. This is due by the next block day.
Sophomores: Today we focused on making observations and analyzing, synthesizing and making inductions, and forming thesis statements when reading art and photography. We will continue with this with music and film on Thursday. This week you should be reading Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8 from The Power of One and working on Membean.
CNF: Today we finished reading Blink and had a few seminar discussions.
