Wednesday,+October+27

===Once again, I am not with you today. (regretful sigh....) I am giving you an opportunity today to have some work time on a thINK essay. Use this period to choose a text, generate a topic, and write your essay. ===


 * Look at the outline handout and the proofreading checklists I left for you. Use these to plan and revise your own thINK essay. We will talk more about this next class.



 * Work on a @thINK! Brainstorm your own topics by thinking of some of those layer 3 questions and begin planning and writing. I highly encourage you to look at some of the other fine examples from your classmates from the thINK discussion board. Remember, you may use a novel you have been reading or something from the Shelf, but you must get your topic from a text. The details in the body paragraph(s) that talks about the text should be quotes from the text. (Tips: Remember how to integrate these quotations???? Chunk = 1 Detail + 2 Commentary A paragraph should have 2 chunks!)


 * Did you finish the handout of story elements and literary techniques on "Folklore Across Cultures?" Of course you did! I mean, it was homework, right???? I'm just sayin'....

Homework

 * thINK 1 for this quarter is due on **Tuesday, November 2nd on the 2nd 9 Weeks link for your class on the thINK discussion board!**


 * Read your novels! Remember, you need to read 6 books, but you only have to journal on 3. You may use the reading log for the others. Journals are expected to always address the L.O.T.s I gave you in class. They should always be labeled with title, date, and LOT #, and they should always include text details and your own commentary. Have them with you in class every day! You never know when I may look at a particular entry as a quiz grade!
