What a beautiful day. It's the kind of day to go outside, take a walk, breath in some air, enjoy the sun. I would argue that any day is really a pretty good day, but today just seems especially nice. Hope you've had a chance to take a moment and notice it.
Also, I wanted to mention that we are six weeks in to the semester now (yes, already), and so, if you're counting blog posts at two a week, you should probably be about twelve. We'll be, or rather, you'll be writing up some blog reflections before break, noting what you've had to say so far this term, but now could be a good time to just double check where you are. And, if necessary, you could blog this weekend. For one thing, think about the names we had on the board yesterday: which ones did you most agree with? Why?
You could also blog about your summary work. Is it easy to write a summary? More difficult? Why? You could even see if you use any of the suggestions from Graff and Birkenstein about quoting and paraphrasing other writers. Just a thought.
We'll also talk soon about what we might do in the second half of the semester. We have a lot of TBA (to be announced) days, and we should fill them. I have some ideas, but I'd like to bounce them off of you, too.
All right, that's my blog, for the moment. Now it's time for a fellows meeting, and then I have some reflections I'm looking forward to reading.
