Tuesday/Wednesday 14/15 February

While occasionally serenaded by Val-o-grams, writers wrote to the prompts:

What is curiosity like? or What is it like to learn something new?

After sharing responses writers began examining feature magazine articles from a variety of magazines in order to identify their characteristics. After the writers made their analysis, Mr. Zartler shared the following lecture notes explaining the characteristics: http://www.slideshare.net/john1306/feature-writing

Next writers were asked to consider questions: some are relatively simple: Who? Where? When? What? Others are slightly more complex: How? And big questions are often associated with: Why?

Writers are to have twenty-five questions about heir thesis topic for next class.

Next week, writers will be taking their OAKS and researching their thesis topics.
