Welcome back! We gifted a present to the students today by having them take all the papers should be in their folder that will be kept for the next four years and determining whether they have all the components that should be there at this time in the year. After this, the students wrote a reflection on what they saw in their portfolio thus far. After this, we did very quick Cornell Notes on the words that will become part of our thesis statements for the next paper which is on the two-week course of Nature Writing that started today.
Homework: Annotate the Emerson & Thoreau papers paying special attention to words you don't know. If you were absent, you can find this paper on Mr. Staiano's web page under "recent handouts." Also, pay attention to how these writers write.
