DAY 04 - CYCLE 02 - SEMESTER 01: 09-10-09

HANDOUTS FROM TODAY:

What makes a good claim?

IN CLASS TODAY:
We continued with vocabulary, continuing with the next five words of unit 1: germane, insatiable, intransigent, invidious, and largesse.

We discussed the issues you had with your journal entries.  What worked well? What did not?

We discussed the handout, "What makes a good claim?"

After discussion, you had the opportunity to write edits onto your journals before turning them in. 

We began reading "Zoo Island" in class.
CLASS NOTES:
There were no official notes for today, though you should study the handout and make additions to it.

HOMEWORK FOR NEXT CLASS:
Finish reading the story "Zoo Island" in Junior Great Books for tomorrow.  You should bring a written, interpretive question with you.  We will begin with the question, "How does the census affect the residents?"
