March 14 – Julie C.

Hey guys, I hope you all had a great day! It is almost the end of the week so hang on for a couple more days. Today in Edward’s class since we had half blocks we read the Kenyon Commencement Speech by David Foster Wallace. You can get access to the youtube link right here so that you are able to listen to the speech and answer the following questions. The questions listed below are optional to answer because Edwards said she only wants to read answers that are thought out thoroughly and not answered just to complete the assignment. Do what you will, I will leave the 2 questions below and you only need to answer 1 if you wish.

1. “What’s an education for?” is a question well worth asking while you’re in the midst of yours. Take a few minutes to list all the objectives you think your parents and the larger society have for children in sending them to school and college. Which objectives do you see as primary and which as secondary? Are any of these objectives at odds with one another?
2. Wallace speaks a lot about our “default settings” and our need to adjust them. How would you describe your own default setting? Name three adjustments you can imagine making in your own setting on the way to becoming “well-adjusted.”

REMINDER: Tomorrows schedule is our usual Wednesday schedule: Schiller, Edwards, and Thinnes. 
***DONT FORGET YOUR TEXTBOOKS***

Hello West House! It’s Julie here and I will be your scribe for the week. I hope that you all had a great weekend and are ready to tackle another week. We’re almost to graduation so hang on tight guys! You all got this. 

GAME PLAN: 1st Rotation

  • SSR

  • Stations Day #2

  • Mr. Anapol (15 minutes)

Today was like most days and we began class doing SSR for 20 minutes. Afterwards, we continued to work on our stations until about 12:20 so that Mr.Anapol would have time to speak to us. He talked to us about career fair on Friday 3/16 and let us use the laptops to allow us to sign up for who we wished to see present.

REMINDER: Our schedule is weird this week, TOMORROW (TUESDAY) we have: Thinnes 1st Block, Anaya AND Schiller 2nd Block
