Homework for today was to catch up on the reading. The plan is to be finished with Dyson Monday, October 15. We divided ourselves into Literature Circles based on the readings. All students were not up to Chapter 7, but they will be tomorrow. We will continue our discussions tomorrow and perhaps do a little writing or listening and writing :-)

We are looking at introductory paragraphs and conclusions this week. Next week we will read Elements of Style, so bring it to class. Thursday, October 10-Thursday, October 18, we will look at the research essay and look at possible topics. Next week you will choose a social entrepreneur to profile in an essay. You can choose someone who uses art as his or her medium of exchange. A social entrepreneur is a business person. Remember, the person has to be alive and work in Northern California, if at all possible.
