Week 22

We are nearing the end of the semester. Its important that ALL outstanding work (assigned work not yet submitted and incomplete work that needs correction) be turned in at our next class.  In addition, any and all work returned as incomplete during class must be corrected and resubmitted the very next week. This has been the expectation all along, however its more important as we wrap up the year so that no assignments are left incomplete after the final class.  I do not plan to offer ongoing assessment on classwork past the end of April.

Our new lesson today was on how to develop a narration (narratio) for our essays.  The narratio provides background information so that the reader understands the issue.

Writing Assignment:

• Guide to narratio page 115 (use the chart I passed out in class instead of the one on page 116)
• Arrangement Worksheet, pages 117-120
• Outline based on the lesson 7 template on page 121
• Check your number for outstanding work.  Assignment records are current through March 26.  If I have made an error, please bring that to my attention.

Reading Assignment:

• Reread the first half of The Meno very slowly and carefully, pages 59-77.  Write notes in the margin to help you narrate.  Use your yellow highlighter to follow the flow of thought.  Mark at least one blue (preferably more) in this section to offer for class discussion.
• Review the final chapter of The King of the Golden River.  What symbol (or symbols) for the resurrection do you see?
