We had another "field trip" this week -- all the way to the cafe at Grace Church. We filled up a round table in the corner for our class this week. They're a great group of students, and we had a productive time even away from the class room.
We began with an SAT writing prompt. The writing prompt concerned a "great books" curriculum. Some of the students were not as familiar with this term, so we discussed how they might answer a question that felt very unfamiliar. They wrote for 15 minutes and then we discussed the essays.
We focused the rest of our discussion on the MLA format, especially as it relates to citations. We also discussed the challenges of revising rough drafts. They handed int their second Rough Drafts which I will have the joy of reading and correcting this week.
We passed around a sign up sheet for presentations. The presentations need to have a visual aspect including a verbal component. We'll do presentation on the last two weeks of the term. The Final Papers are due on the last week of the term.
Assignments for this week:
-- Relax and get ready to polish your rough drafts when you get them back next week.
