Sharing
- I put the Graphic Memoirs up on the Big Screen, and we passed them around as well. Each writer/illustrator presented hers, and we discussed them briefly.
- We talked about what an "oxymoron" is, as well as what a "paradox" is. We jotted down a definition and examples of each.
- Apparent Contradiction (p. 19) --we took five minutes to explain to ourselves what the ten apparent contradictions mean to us, and then we discussed them as a class.
- We completed Assignment #1 today, and saved it on the Student Volume in our class folder.
- Two Lenses (p. 5)--twenty minutes
- I explained the assignment, and then I read two models.
Organization
