Daily Log

Friday, September 3

Students checked out copies of the textbook (Elements of Literature, Course 5) and received an assignment involving reading a short selection in it, concerning Native American literature and culture, and responding to it in writing.

We also reviewed the basics of structured writing as students have learned them in previous Language Arts courses at Mount Si. The assigned paragraph needs to observe the structured language guidelines.

HW due Tuesday:

Read pages 20-25 in the textbook. Reread the essay by Joseph Bruchac on pages 20-21 and type a solid two-chunk paragraph explaining what Bruchac means by the essay's title, "The Sun Still Rises in the Same Sky." Refer to items 13 and 14 in the last section of the course syllabus (see Documents page) for formatting guidlines.
