Thursday 1 March 2018 for Periods 5 & 6 and Friday 2 March 2018 for Periods 1, 2, & 7
Membean Vocabulary Drills: Students completed the remainder of their minimum of forty minutes for the week.
Quiz: Eric Schwitzgebel's "How to Tell if You're a Jerk"
Lecture: types of definitions
Students placed a handout on types of definitions in their commonplace books.
Homework: Select a word you wish define and write a parenthetical and a sentence definition.
Mr. Stone suggests students use a more specific word from one of the following categories:
food
instruments
animals
plants
sports
equipment/tools
moves/plays
vehicles
Students should consult sources while they create their own definitions. Students can consider information common knowledge when they find the same information in five different credible sources. They should express this information in their own manner.
Students will later be created an extended definition for this same term. They should keep track of the sources they consult for future use.
