Thoughtful Thursday

Block C: For this weekend - finish your book!!! We have ONE last group meeting on Monday - so make sure you are prepared! And because I am the nicest teacher ever - your last set of 3 journal entries will now be due on Wednesday Oct 29. So you get another bonus day to work on them.

Block D: Today we talked about developing an essay topic - how to make it Single, Supportable, Significant and Specific. 

We did some in-class practice before talking about how to find reputable and reliable sources for this essay. You will need to find at least 3 sources: a book, a website, and an encyclopedia for your proposal. Do not print out your sources as I want to see your essay proposal first. If you do not like any of the topics from the green handout - I fully recommend that you create your own topic. Choose something that is not overdone and something that intrigues you. Here is the slide of the proposal due on Monday.
