03.18 - Krakauer Discussion

For the first half of our class today, we had a whole class discussion around our most recent series of reading logs for Into the Wild. These reading logs go with our work looking at how authors can express their own opinion (be subjective) while presenting facts. Before having the discussion, we reviewed expectations by going over the rubric and I showed students the sort of notes I use to assess discussions. The group then had the next fifteen minutes to discuss the reading log questions.

Krakauer Discussion (assessment review and questions)

In the last part of class, people had time to work on the next section of reading and to begin working on the next reading log (a choice of a log from logs 7, 8, and 9). People could also work on revisions for other assignments and I finished meeting with people about their academic habit goals during this time.
