Eng 11-2

Today, we decided to choose our own inquiry question from the list that was developed last class.  I thought students would appreciate a bit of autonomy and find it easier to complete the inquiry using a question that they felt more connected to.  I asked people to copy down their question on the front of their yellow study packages.

Next, we had a discussion based on a survival scenario.  People had some good ideas and were able to use logic (sometimes questioned) to decide on what they thought would be most important in a tropical survival scenario.

Please read the introduction pages to the study guide AND the British Public School handout for homework.

If you're leaving on a trip, this is what's on the menu:
Thursday: read Chapter One and answer the guide questions.
Tuesday: read Chapter Two and Three and answer the guide questions.

I strongly suggest you always put the page number where you found the answer next to each study guide question - this will help you track down quotations later for writing assignments.
