Friday, September 13

Friday the 13th? I hope that spells doom for the Delta Rabbits. Prediction: Judge, 35, Delta 14. Speaking of predictions, I am 2-0 so far, so take this to the bank: Utah 31, Oregon State 17.

Freshmen: Today we wrapped up our study of the features present in effective essays. You can see our list on another blog entry today. Your homework is the following: Read for 20 minutes this weekend (Chapter 1 from They Say I Say is due Monday, and you can do either or both of Exercises 1 and 2 for extra credit). Bring a dozen blank index cards with you on Tuesday. Chapter 2 vocab is due for you either Thursday or Friday, depending on when you have retreat. We also read the poem by Sherman Alexi "At Navajo Monument Valley Tribal School", which can be found at http://www.hanksville.org/voyage/poems/NavajoSchool.html. If you would like, for extra credit, write a poem about a place, based on a photograph. This could be about a real experience, or one that is imagined. The poem should be typed, and refer to Alexi's poem for an example of how to format it. I would want it by the end of next week, I think.

Sophomores: Today we talked about Richard Parker(s). Your homework is: Part II of Life of Pi due Monday (we will read Part III together on the block day), your essay is due to turnitin.com by 8 AM Wednesday morning, and vocab Chapter 2 is due on Friday.

CNF: We finished reading Chapter 3 in Blink and will discuss it on Monday.
