>>>Finger splint disclaimer<<<

I'm dictating all of these website notes (in other words - not typing them). As a result, they're not as complete as they typically would be. My left index finger is in a splint because I have six stitches on my primary knuckle.

Thank you for your understanding and patience with me.

Today we:

• wrote a 25 minute prompt (ICW, 2x)

Introduce yourself as an intellectual in every aspect of your life - not just as a student in public school.

• Self-scored ourselves against the writing rubric from the SAT site; (http://sat.collegeboard.org/scores/sat-essay-scoring-guide)
• Did a QuickWrite on our writing strengths and weaknesses (ICW, 1x); and
• Went over what critical thinking is.

Homework:

1. Read the first 10 Principles from the SAT Essay Book;
2. Be prepared to discuss your critical thinking process for how to approach timed writings (and writing prompts, in general);
3. Study Quack lists 1-3 (listed on the last lesson plan).
