Thanksgiving Break Journal Topics-- All Classes are welcome periods 6, 5, 4

Select any ONE of the following Journal Topics and write in your journal.  If you left your journal at home, write on a sheet of paper and then place in your journal upon return to school: 

1. If you could create a Thanksgiving Dinner Party list that allowed you up to ten guests, and those guests could be a combination of family-- even those who passed away--friends, as well as public figures, entertainers, educators, politicians, leaders, artists or otherwise people whom you admire, who would you invite? Create a list of 10 invitees and then share the rationale for inviting them. Be clear, precise, specific and thoughtful. The assignment should take more than ten minutes as your response to each invitee should specifically highlight something they have done and traits or skills you admire in that person.  

2. Select an article and read and complete your weekly SOAPS Analysis. You should choose a commentary on an important issue, or a podcast, or even an article from the online text Patterns For College Writing.  This is a paper assignment. It is due on Monday, November 29th at the beginning of the period.  

3. Period 5-- You have your Identity Puzzle Assignment. The sharing settings for the exemplars have now been changed. Exemplars are just that-- bring your own ideas, creativity to the assignment.
