Tuesday Scribe Notes 10-8-08

Today we began with a journal entry based on How you would describe Eid to a non-muslim and worked on it for 10 mins.
We then went over abstract terms, cannot be touched, seen, felt, tasted or heard but are still nouns. We must think of one abstract word and write a definition essay, write a couple of sentences on what you think the word means then list three definition from 3 different dictionaries(list sources)(can be copy and pasted).
We went over our new theme (education) and read in our book a Ralph Waldo Emerson Essay on Education, we discussed what we think are educated people and took turns reading. Our Homework is vocab ex4 , definition essay, and GE chapters 1-10 and study guide packet due next Monday.
