DAY 04 - CYCLE 10 - SEMESTER 01: 11-23-09

HANDOUTS FROM TODAY:
We looked at the collected elements of your proposed rubrics.  Ali pointed out a mistake, and that has been corrected in the version posted here.

IN CLASS TODAY:
We covered the words incarcerate, incumbent, jocular, ludicrous, mordant.

CLASS NOTES:
Incumbent as an adjective can be a bit tricky. Note the following examples to get a better understanding of it in action:
• It is incumbent upon all members to attend the Spanish Honor Society meeting tomorrow.
• It is incumbent for a batter to have great eyesight.
• It is a duty incumbent upon me, and I accept the obligation gladly.
• To follow the Common Trust is incumbent upon us all.

We split up into two groups and created a final rubric with the traits of A and B followers and leaders.

We came up with the following possible questions/topics for tomorrow’s in-class essay about Watership Down.  You will be given ONE of these tomorrow in the computer lab.  You should report directly to the computer lab tomorrow.  You may bring your book, but that is all.
  • Who is the most valuable team member and why?
  • Whose style of leadership is more effective: Hazel’s or Woundwort’s?
  • Why is Cowslip’s Warren unappealing, even though they get everything they want?

Notes for today's class may be found above.

HOMEWORK FOR NEXT CLASS:
Prepare for tomorrow's in-class essay.  You may bring your book, but nothing else.  Please report directly to the computer lab.
