Class notes:
HOMEWORK: The essay responding to the prompt: "Is human nature good or evil?" Is due on Friday (next class). Students who wish to conference with Mr. Zartler first, may attend tutorial on Friday afternoon, and then turn in the essay on Tuesday instead.
Class began with a review of the importance of key words in organizing an essay. Students did a variety of excercises on their own and in small groups to review and revise their essay. Students wrote a "So what?" answer about their essay.
Mr. Zartler discussed the form of an essay: the introduction narrows the topic; the thesis defines the topic; the conclusion expands the topic by explaining "so what" that is, how does this essay pertain to life.
The class also spent time considering the idea of symbolism using the illustrations in the previous post and others.
