Last Week Review (end Oct 16)

This week was a short one- it didn't help that I was not there on the 15th because of a doctor's appointment.

As such, we looked at songs/poems and worked out further your discussion LES for this term.  At the same time it helped get a clearer idea what the definition of "protest" is.  Some of the discussion made me realise that we have a long way to go, but also that you are all capable of getting there because we have very strong minds...

Discussion seems sometimes to be the easy part- getting it written down can be a bit harder.  However, with the responses you wrote I again was surprised by a lot of you- you understand the concept of getting an idea on paper!  Great!  Now we have to up that bar and get you to be able to play with the language!

Coming up:  Starting Oct 28th, you have an LES that will concentrate mostly on writing- both creative and functional (think song writing and essays...)- remember the 29th you will be at the career fair.  Before this and after... depending... you will have your 2nd public presentation- this has to be creative and to be preformed (it will be video taped)- we will take time next class to work out the rubric for this presentation.
