Today, you began class by showing off your weekend homework -- to write a logos-based paragraph (or two) proving that a particular character in the Adam and Eve story (Adam, Eve, God, or the serpent) was most responsible for Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Some of you didn't have your paragraphs; you were told, politely but firmly, that in the future not having an assignment on the day it is due will generally mean that you'll need to stay after school to complete it.

Next, we laid out an extremely important concept for the year (and for many years to come) -- the basic model for an expository paragraph. Known as the "content sandwich," this six-ingredient paragraph contains every element crucial to good logos. Some of your artists' renditions are below:






We then went on to look at a sample content sandwich paragraph, identifying each of the elements as it appeared. To see it (in color-coded form!), click on the link below:

Your homework -- as it has been for the past two weeks -- is to put the finishing touches on your Animal Farm advertising project, which is due on Wednesday morning.
