Today the day seemed to fly by. We reviewed developing thesis sentences and shared the sentences we developed for homework (smile). Some sentences were composed in class.
We perused Hacker today as well, jetting between sections where we looked at Thesis Development (18-19; 26-31). There are exercises on p. 31. For the MW classes, complete the exercises, if we didn't get to them in class. Also go on-line to hackerhandbooks.com/rules < The writing process > 2-2 to 2-4 for more practice: http://bcs.bedfordstmartins.com/rules7e/#t_669460____
We started a five-day survey of our lives 0-12 to see what we can recall of our earliest memories of happiness. Beginning today, spend a few minutes reflecting on this time in our lives to see how many memories we can recall. Each day give yourself time to write substantively about this time when perhaps like Helen Keller, we didn't have words yet. You can reflect on one moment over the week or choose another place to enter the discussion daily. For the MTWTh class, we will spend time in class daily on this. Perhaps students can share the journey on Thursday with each other, and for the MW classes, share stories Monday.
Keep reading the scheduled reading assignments, esp. The Happiness Project. These early weeks we will be reviewing essay writing structure, just to make sure we are all in the same place.
In the 9-10 a.m. class students were to develop introductory paragraphs for tomorrow. Bring in the paragraphs (10 sentences) to share in the morning. In the 1-2:50 class, bring the introductory paragraph to class Wednesday to share. We will complete the essays in class on Wednesday.
I will have to look at the syllabus to see where we are in the text (smile).
