Freshmen: Today our focus was on an introduction to free verse poetry and our first key principle for writing free verse poetry, which we're going to call "The Power of I." In other words, good free verse poetry often relates a first-hand experience, which requires a first person speaker. Your homework is to read for 20 minutes Tuesday and Wednesday, and to write a free verse poem. The poem is due Thursday, and should be typed, it should be about a first-hand experience, and it should adhere to the principle we covered in class today.
Sophomores: Today spent some time reading, introduced the notion of Socratic Seminars and how you should prepare for them, focused on some issues that are pertinent to our text, viewed the rest of the Joseph Campbell interview "The Message of the Myth". Thursday, we will do compare and contrast with the creation stories we found and the key item will be answering the following question: What do the similarities found in many creation stories reveal about humanity? Check the blog for the reading schedule as well.
CNF: Today we focused on reading the Introduction and Chapter 1 of Blink. We also focused on what good Socratic Seminar notes should look like in preparation for the seminar we will have on Friday.
