Quick Write: What does imagination mean to you? How important is it? What about memory? Can you have one without the other?
Ni hao! (How are you in Chinese.) Frankly, I'm jet lagged. The video above was taken a few days ago in Shanghai, China. I asked the kind Chinese ladies to wave to my students.
Today we will start thinking about imagination and memory and how it applies to Jean-Dominque Bauby. We will be reading the memoir seminar style. Each student will take a section of the book, teaching a lesson and leading the discussion that day. Let's spend today getting back in the groove.
A reminder that before you left for Spring Break, you should have synthesized all of our heavy thinking about the soul and science into a cartoon that gives a graphic reflection of your opinion on the human vs animal debate. You might also check out this site. Show your readers your opinion on what and how animals think as opposed to what and how people think. Be creative with your graphic story. (Don’t forget that writing conventions still count.) Post your cartoon to your blog using screen capture. (Shift, command, 4) Thanks, Tajmah!
Remember independent reading books? Spring break is a good time to start thinking about your reading projects. Here's a list of suggestions. However, other ideas are encouraged. Just run them past me.
Argument Essays are overdue!!!!!!
