Freshmen: Today we focused more closely on how to use the rubric to assess writing, the idea being that if you can assess someone else's writing, you can assess your own. Further, if you can assess your own, you can improve it before handing it in to be assessed by me. Again, read for 20 minutes tonight.
Sophomores: Today we focused on the importance of activating prior knowledge, or back ground knowledge - sometimes called schema - when reading. To aid with this while reading Life of Pi, we are starting a very brief and simple research assignment. The 3 Facts assignment is due next Wednesday. See me if you need a topic. Chapter 10 from Pi is due on Friday; Part 1 is due next Wednesday.
