Freshmen: Today we finished writing your response to "Don't Blame the Eater" in class today. Your assignment over the weekend is this: Type your response and bring it to class on Monday. You need to be sure to have the following elements:
1. An interesting title top and center, formatted correctly.
2. A lead and conclusion technique that we have studied this year used correctly and identified in the header.
3. At least one template from each of the first four chapters: one that helps you enter the conversation, one that helps you summarize, one that helps you quote, and one that helps you state whether you are agreeing, disagreeing, or both (which is obviously going to be your thesis, or at least a central component of it). YOU NEED TO UNDERLINE IN PEN THESE TEMPLATES AND LABEL THEM IN THE MARGIN SO IT'S EASY TO TELL WHERE YOU ARE USING THEM. Remember, these templates don't have to be used word-for-word - you can adapt them to your style and purpose.
4. Correctly format your essay - double space, indent paragraphs, etc.
Also, read for 20 minutes and complete Chapter 8 vocabulary for Friday's quiz.
Sophomores: Today we began reading Oedipus the King. This weekend, read at least to the start of the Second Episode (page 28 in the orange book). I want to finish this play and have a discussion on it on Thursday. You should have a dozen notes or a one page reaction for that day to aid you in the seminar. Also, complete Chapter 8 vocabulary for Friday's quiz.
CNF: Today we listened to the final three Acts of This American Life's Superpowers episode.
Basketball: We play Union at home at 3 today; checkout is after 7th period.
