Happy Thanksgiving!

Nice day. I brought in two one page articles I had the students read and discuss a few weeks ago--one about how words and language shape thought and another that defines critical thinking as making connections. Both are easy to read articles that explain concepts the English department ascribes--yet again, in styles that makes sense through use of metaphors and analogies. I pulled each up on blackboard and interjected examples from the pieces into current 2.2 drafts. I think they now have a better grasp how to forward, analyze, and incorporated other thinkers into their writing.
