Week 1: Welcome Back!

It was great to see you all today!

Here are your assignments for next week.
I'm sending this week's invention worksheet by e-mail, along with an example of how to complete it correctly.  The new worksheet is designed to help you use the questions about differences in degree and kind to generate new information rather than to evaluate information you've already thought of, like we did last year.

Writing:

• Reread the myth of Pandora
• Choose an issue from the story (character + action /ask whether they should have done it)
• Complete the review worksheet on comparison (will e-mail worksheet)
• Complete an ANI chart for your Pandora issue.   You must have 20 items in each column (A, N, and I).  Number them!  Include at least some information from your comparison worksheet. Remember that any invention worksheet information can at least go in the interesting colunm.

Reading

• Read Aristotle for Everybody chapter 10.  Use your yellow highlighter and make notes in the margins so that if called upon to give a narration, you'll be able to do so.
• Read De Amicitia sections 1-7 (pages 1-19).  Use your yellow highlighter for flow of thought, orange if you notice elocution elements we've learned, and blue to mark passages that you find most interesting.  Be sure you have at least one blue in this weeks reading.
• Read Pilgrim's Progress Intro through page 53.  Follow the same highlighting instructions as for De Amicitia.
• Be prepared to give a narration on any section of Pilgrim's Progress or De Amicitia.
