College Prep 12
- Made a few comments about essay writing. make sure these college app essays are narrative. Tell short but highly detailed anecdotes to create memorable impact. Too many of these, even though they are technically essays, read too much like essays and not enough like a story, especially on this last assignment. The one due tomorrow (Imagine you are a hero for one day during any time period and under any circumstances. Describe your experiences.) especially requires a narrative style. Tell me a story!
- Finished reading "The Beginning of Things," the Greek creation myth. Students were told to read in terms of Campbell's four functions of myth, look for theme and possible metaphors. Discussion ensued.
- Peer review tomorrow.
Grade 10
