Yup, we're working away on stuff on Halloween ... I think I was the only one in a costume, by the way...
In any case, we did a bit on essay writing today - something which we'll do again tomorrow, too. Writing your ideas down on paper is important in getting a good mark in the class. Yes, I am looking for rough notes for this essay, too.
After the essay writing, we did some presentations. Some interesting discussion happened before, during and after each of the presentations - something that is rather a cool aspect of this class. (Shhh ... it's a teacher secret that the purpose of this assignment is exactly that .... that students learn more from their fellow students that from the teacher....)
In any case, after we finished the presentations, we got into the next Unit for the course .... Animal Farm. We read to the end of Chapter One. No questions were assigned for homework as we have an essay and a web question on Fahrenheit 451 and Shut up and Sing due ASAP, too.
Other than that, we had a good day today - some interesting discussion, a good read and some time investigating material on teh interwebs. What else could you get from a class?
