Observation?  Close enough?

Look back at 10/25 in your daybook.  How can you prevent that weakness in THIS short essay?

"To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle."

- George Orwell

 

 "All of us are watchers – of television, of time clocks, of traffic on the freeway – but few are observers. Everyone is looking; not many are seeing."

- Peter Leschak

We go to the lab where you type up your short essay about close observation.  Here, again, is the prompt:

 In a short essay of five or so paragraphs, discuss what close observation involves, and explain its usefulness.  Be sure to include detailed examples from your own experience, an introduction and conclusion.

I pick up daybooks.  Be sure to include the grey History of English handout and the handout from yesterday, the marked-up purple example of summary/response about P. Bourne.

Homework:

1.  You must continue to read and annotate the article you will write about.  Be sure to underline vocabulary you are not sure of. On Tuesday you must have a rough draft that includes both some summary and some response about the article.  People will read your draft.

2.  no WFTD.
