We:
- shared our top 10 values, according to what we had written
- talked about any patterns that we noticed about the full class's most popular values
- were pleasantly surprised at how hard-working and honest we are
- talked about how language is essentially just a series of labels - we did this with a pencil and a book
- discussed how the best writers use language most intelligently and specifically
- started drafting the "Values Essay," paying close attention to writing in as many details as possible in each answer
Homework:
finish your first draft of the Values essay, knowing that we will work on editing next time (using Google Docs - which we'll also start using)
