Hello West House Members,
my name is Nicole and I'll be your scribe for the week. Yay!

Okay, let's get started. So today, Monday, December 10, 2012, we first started off with SSR for 20 minutes.
Shortly after SSR, Ortega went around to each table and checked us off to see if we had both our essay and our peer review, which should be placed in our notebook. If you didn't have it today, make sure that it's printed and in your notebook by next rotation.
Mrs. Ortega then proceeded by making an appointments for each group to meet her at the library on Wednesday, December 12th, in order to go over our pro speeches. Each person within your Model Assembly group will bring their speech to recite to Ortega during their appointment. Each group will have 15 minutes, so if you're the first group at 8:00, make sure you're there on time!
On Wednesday, everybody meets at the Library at 8:00 A.M.; If you're late, make sure you go to room 2907, on the second floor.
Our last thing for the day was having a quick mini lesson on Counter Arguments.
All of the groups were given a topic, and within your groups we would have about fifteen minutes to come up with a counter argument to whatever the concept was classified as. We then talked about it as a class, and Ortega picked people to share the answers aloud.

Recap:
-SSR
-Peer review/essay check
-Library Appointments
-Counter Argument Lesson.

That was all the time we had for today.
Oh, and don't forget that National Guard will be coming to iPoly, Tuesday at lunch.
Okay, that is all. Goodnight West House! (:
-Nicole.

We had a short four core today. No real time for anything, so we had a speaker come in from the Connect Four program to talk about Mt. SAC admissions and transfers. The notebooks were not checked today.
So today was basically this:

  • A#47 Connect Four

Hello,
We started off with SSR. We then took notes on Ethos, Pathos, and Logos (and you need to have an idea of what you are going to use for your speech). Then we were given time to work on our speeches. HEADS UP, we are finally getting our notebooks checked tomorrow. 

So let's go over it again:
  • SSR
  • A#46 Mini: Ethos, Pathos, Logos
  • Time to work on speech
  • Notebooks due tomorrow
