SENIORS: We continued work on your children's book rough draft; and I did a notebook check, collecting the notebooks I didn't get to during the class period.

SOPHOMORES: We did a "Stop and Jot" with a TED Talks video (Samantha Power on a Complicated Hero).  I will be doing a notebook check on Wednesday.  Here's what I'll be looking for: Grammar Exercises (we did 11 or 12, don't worry if you don't have them all, having most will do), and a Business Letter Template.  We also did writings on Morals, Conscience, Einstein Quote, and a Time When You Weren't Believed (and Why); these are all explained on older blog posts.  I will also be looking for Cornell Notes, Chapters 1-5, Thematic Ideas (faith symbols, inhumanity towards others, what we learn from dialogue, traditions, silence, character descriptions, father/son relationships), the Samantha Power Stop and Jots, and your response to comments on her talk.
