Tuesday, 25 September

In class today we reviewed that there is a quiz on vocabulary words on Thursday; part of the quiz is for students to have a planner or planning device.

Mr. Zartler also went over the requirement that all students have a book to read for an independent reading project. That list is available online. Students may need to use resources such as Multnomah County Library to access books from the list.

The class reviewed the areas of knowledge that we used to analyze the "How Carrots Won the Trojan War" piece.

The areas of knowledge that we will use for the next article are:
Agriculture
Arts, Culture, & Religion
Eating and Cooking
Economics and Business
Health
History and Social Science
"Jeopardy Knowledge"
Science

HOMEWORK:
Every student got a handout of the chapter "Corn Causes Vampires." The class read and discussed the introduction together. For homework students are expected to pre-read the piece by first reading all the topic sentences. Then all students should do a quick read of the entire piece for Thursday.
