III – 11/9/2012

We read “Hills like White Elephants” – Riley read the narrator, Carol read as the girl – “Jig”, and Dean read as the American.

The class was a little lost during the first read through, but after a discussion, we figured it out.

We watched a video based on the story, and for some people, it helped clarify some things, but for others, it just confused them.

Again, we had a discussion and cleared things up.

We ended the day with the OER question over the story regarding selfishness and worked a bit more on the foldable from yesterday.

Did you guys know that Riley hates Bruno Mars’ song Grenade? She does.

She compared it to the poem “The Passionate Shepherd” get the notes from a  classmate.

Then we read “The Nymph’s Reply” – get the notes from a classmate.

We then partnered up and started the Come Hither, Go Away Pre-Writing. When youa re done, show it to Riley so she can give you credit for drafting.

Riley forced us to listen to Time by Pink Floyd. It’s a LONG song – it’s not the radio edited version. There is a reason for this – make sure you listen to all of it, even the parts that seem meaningless. There is a meaning for all ot, and it all relates to CARPE DIEM.

When you answer the questions, make sure you answer them fully. Don’t just skim through them and rush throughthe questions. Historically, people who do that don’t score well on the test. Don’t skip a question – that automatically kills your grade.

You can listen to the song as many times as you want when you take the test and use the lyrics to help you answer the test. You can use whatever you need (OneNote, song, lyrics) on the test.

Today, Riley creeped us all out by playing Marvin Gaye’s “Let Get It On”. There is a Discussion Board in LMS with questions for you to answer. Make sure you answer all of them – just hit Post New Reply.

We then read “To His Coy Mistress” – get the annotations from someone else in class who write them all down.

We also read “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” – get the annotations from someone else in class who write them all down.

We finished the day by doing the syllogisim – there are instructions for that in LMS. I’ll give you a hint: Sentence #1 starts with IF… Sentence #2 starts with BUT, and sentence #3 starts with THEREFORE.

Make sure that you keep the paper product and you drop off the digital file.
