Liz handed out enveloped of disengaged stanzas from a poem today. Alone, or in pairs, you took the stanzas, read them carefully, and arranged them in the way that you felt worked best. You then shared your work with the class. The next part of this assignment will be to read the poem in the poet's original order and then write a paragraph making a claim as to why your ordered version is more effective than the original poet's order.
Remember HOMEWORK DUE TOMORROW!
For Wednesday, March 17: Choose one of the discussion questions at the end of Philosophy Chapter 5 and answer it in at least two paragraphs (5-8 sentences each) OR choose one of the three activities. Remember, if you choose to draw your own paradox picture, it must be accompanied by one paragraph explaining why it is a paradox. If you choose to examine an already created paradox picture, you must write two paragraphs explaining why it is a paradox. If you choose to write a song about tolerance, it must be at least one page. And if you choose to answer the question about "The Matrix," your answer must be at least two paragraphs. As always, please make sure to highlight or underline all "to/too/two"s, "there/they're/their"s, and "your/you're"s.
For Thursday, March 18: A two paragraph book review- make sure to highlight or underline all "to/too/two"s, "there/they're/their"s, and "your/you're"s.

Guidelines for Book Review Assignments
(due every other Thursday, beginning Feb. 4)
1. Your review must be on a book that you have read within the last six months.
2. Every OTHER review may be on a graphic novel.
3. Your review must be at least two paragraphs long, and may be longer.
4. Each paragraph must be 5-8 sentences.
5. Review must contain enough of a summary so that someone who is reading your review, but knows nothing about the book, will get a good sense of what the book is about. However, it should not be all summary; a review is mostly your opinion of the book.
6. Don't just state your opinion- explain WHY you feel the way you feel about the book.
See the link below for some examples:
