Freshmen: Today our focus was on how to begin a free verse poem. You are to revise your first poem based on this principle, and write a second free verse poem that adheres to the first three principles we covered. Write about an experience you have had, and focus on including concrete details such as places, people, and things. Both poems are due on Thursday. We also focused on some important things to remember when writing an email to a teacher, boss, or other adult, and your should send me a short email that displays understanding of these ideas. Your email can be about something in class or just some information about yourself. Read for 20 minutes Tuesday and Wednesday, and keep working on Membean, as well.
Sophomores: Today our focus was on exploring a few of the major ideas running through Life of Pi, namely, survival, God, zoos, Truth, religion, suffering, and names. Your homework is to read Chapters 5-15 (pages 20-46 in the trade edition) for Thursday's class, and you might want to read some more from Foster today, too, as we read "Now, Where Have I Seen Her Before?" Keep working on Membean, as well.
CNF: Today we finished Chapter 1 from Blink and had our first class seminar on the book.
