Go over the reading comprehension quiz that we barely completed yesterday.  Finish adding the final brainstorming to our notes on how what we expect from people, may not be what we get from them.  Students need to generate an outline for a literary essay.  Discuss answering the why or how  question in the thesis of the essay.  For example, why shouldn't we judge others based on appearance?   Or How do our judgements of others impact ourselves and our community?  The answer to these questions lead to thoughtful discussions.  If your essay sits in the simple "People judge others" then you never get to the good stuff and your thought and insight mark will always be disappointing to you.  We will  all write thesis statements today.

In the second period we will start work on our projects.  We will work on the essay and this creative project for the rest of the week.  That way we access our critical thinking brains and our creative brains.  Today you will be introduced to the project and we will go over expectations.  you might start researching for the project today.
