I distributed this week's GUM.  Keep the page in your notebook behind last week's.  You need to add a page of loose leaf paper behind it to take notes in class.

By now you should have received your graded quizzes.  It is your responsibility to review your quiz to use as a study guide.  Expect more quizzes this week in preparation for next week's test.

I also distributed a copy of the Chapter 2 excerpt with vocabulary.  Read it closely and annotate it. Expect a quiz, which will include vocabulary in context, on Wednesday.

Your Vocabulary Log should include the word, definition, and your own sentence.  Keep this in your notebook until I ask for them.

Writing Exercise #1  (8-10 minutes)

Explain what words and phrases in Chapter 1 are indicative of the speaker's critical tone toward his subject.

Writing Exercise #2

"When your values are clear to you, making decisions becomes easier."  --Roy Disney

Step 1:  Zoom in on VALUES.  Define values.  What are they?  Where do they do they come from?

Step 2:  Zoom out to the WHOLE QUOTE. Explain it.  What does the author mean.

Step 3:  Zoom out BEYOND the quote.  Provide examples.  In what way is the author's statement true?  Provide as many as examples as possible from your experiences, reading, observations.
