Click here for a copy of today's notes. I have added to them, touching on points that we did not solidify in our short discussion. Please be sure to look at these!
HOMEWORK FOR NEXT CLASS:
- Read & annotate the article “Is Google Making Us Stoopid?” and write an answer to the question at the end of the article (Journal #1). You'll note that questions and definitions are provided on the right hand side of the article to help guide your understanding. Your journal entry should be typewritten, at least 7-10 thoughtful sentences in length, and ready to be turned in at the beginning of class. Your full name should appear in the upper left hand corner.
- Send me an email at szarwell@usmk12.org from an email account that you check frequently, and put your full name as the subject line. The body of the message may be empty.
- Bring your Sentence "Diagramming Step by Step" workbook with you to class tomorrow. It's the spiral bound one that looks like the kind of reader booklets you get in a history class.
