SENIORS: It is now crunch time!  Your children's book is due this Friday!  That means everything is done; we could publish it if we wanted to.

SOPHOMORES: We did a lot today; besides a grammar exercise, we learned that an essay can have several different formats (not just pro, con, pro, pro), and we also learned to write thesis statements that could work for both sides of an argument.  It's easy to argue what you believe, but it is also important to understand what the alternatives are.  There was a handout about this; if you didn't finish it in class, it is HW due tomorrow, and if you were absent, you'll need to get the handout from Austin upon your return to class.
