october 16-19

Remember our conversation on Monday-- this week is a practice in independent work.  It isn't going to be easy, but it will be rewarding.  Each day, follow the formula:

• Write in your journal (topics below)
• Read180
• R books to p. 59
• Read your books and work on your literature analysis
• Tangerine (follow Ms. Anderson's pace and answer daily questions)

JOURNAL TOPICS:

(Tuesday)

Describe a time you found yourself in a strange situation.

(Wednesday)

Your favorite food is on trial.  If the court finds it guilty, no one will ever be able to eat it again.  What will you say in its defense?  Why should you be allowed to eat it?

(Thursday)

Describe your favorite memory of a meal (I'm in a food mood this week :).  Was it with family?  On a date?  At a fancy restaurant?  At home?  What made it special?  Was it the taste?  The company?  The emotions you felt?

(Friday)

Now that we know football causes all sorts of brain injuries and other medical problems, why do we still let fine young people play this stupid sport?
