English 12A: Today we read Chapter 3 from the Tao te Ching and discussed the second phase of our This I Believe project, which is writing the actual essay. This won't be due until the end of the trimester, so some students may end up taking several months to write an essay, and others may write several essays over the next few months. Each writer's process will differ.
We spent the rest of the period focusing on your essays about More. We did some peer revision and then looked at a model from a former student. Your task is to take the feedback you received from your peer and the ideas from the sample essay and revise and improve your own. Your original essay and your improved essay are due 12/6. Your summer reading Journal is due 12/8 and the quiz is that day as well.
English 12B: Today we focused on the second stage of the Hero's Journey, that of initiation. You should continue to work on and think about your Capstone project. You need to have a thesis related to your topic by Tuesday, 12/5. This will require that you do a few hours of research over the next few days. On Wednesday, 12/6, your proposal will be due.
