Fri-Yay

Dear Lovelies,

Happiest of Fridays to you.  Over the weekend, consider the expectations for SAS (thanks to all the former students who modeled an SAS today).  Your first attempt will be next Friday 9/14.

I'll review it all with you next week but feel free to email with questions.

Since you are to be reading Long Way Down, why don't you spend a few minutes getting to know the author?  This is a great video that nicely shows Jason Reynolds' philosophy.  Please watch and consider.  After all, you can spare 3 minutes and 23 seconds, right?  And if you're interested in doing what a student does, read this Washington Post article.  I found it very telling of Reynolds' intentions as an author.  Besides, if you've paid attention, the rhetor is pretty much the puppet master of the Rhetorical Triangle.

If you're open to even more "food", check out this brain food.

Have a great weekend and I look forward to seeing y'all Monday.

Love and Light,
Beltran

    Before class yesterday, I only knew SAS as “side angle side” in math but now the acronym means so much more to me. Can’t wait for the presentations!

    Arcade Fire seems to be popular among the English teachers of the 800 building. All of them.

    Jason Reynolds appears to understand the average student in today's world. Can't wait to see what is in store with Long Way Down.(Wouldn't let me underline or italicize the title)
