Freshmen: Today we focused on a couple of things. We began reading Speak. You should finish the First Marking Period for Monday's class and have five notes - either questions or comments - written down for class that day. We also began the first step in our seven step essay process, which we're calling defining the problem, or in other words, selecting your topic. You drew on the list of ideas from yesterday's activity to help you with this, and took the first step in Question Based Research Strategy. For this, you're going to need to have a total of ten questions, each on a different index card, by Thursday's class. These are questions that you genuinely want and need to answer about your topic. You do not need answers to these questions, yet - getting those answers will be the focus of Thursday and Friday's classes. Keep working on Membean, too.
Sophomores: Today we focused on a This I Believe essay, your own analytical essays, Foster's chapter on violence, and something called a Triple Entry Journal. Read Chapters 1-4 in The Power of One for Friday's class, writing a short reflection after you finish each chapter. Work on you Echoes of the Tao and Triple Entry Journal, as well as Membean.
CNF: Today we finished Chapter 5 and discussed it.
