Friday, May 11

English 12B: Today, Mr. Andersen came into our classroom and taught us a bit about how to create a website for the Capstone Project. We appreciate his time very much. We also did Day 45 of The Elements of Style packet as well as The Hero Catch-Phrase Project.

CNF: Today we talked a bit about Spellbound, and then delved into our study of crime, why it rises and falls, and what happens once a crime has been committed and a person charged. To begin with, we read an article from the desnews.com website about how crime in Utah has risen 17% the past few years, watched a scene from the Freakonomics movie, and began reading Chapter 4 from Freakonomics and a passage from Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point; each text deals with a different theory regarding the drop in crime rates in the mid-1990s.
