Friday, October 5th

1. You have submitted your 5 revised thesis statements for a grade today.

2. For Monday, please have a thesis written for each of your Boot Camp topics. Remember these? We will be moving on to Step 5 of Writing on Monday.

As we are finishing up Boot Camp over the next two weeks, we are going to pair this with our first reading.

Please read the first 4 chapters of Randy Pausch's Last Lecture found HERE: Last Lecture

In class we are going to start watching the lecture that inspired the book:
Randy Pausch "Last Lecture"

While you are BOTH watching and reading, you need to start collecting notes/ideas/thoughts.
Use strategies that have been presented in this class so far:

• What did I learn/What do I think?
• InSIGHTS note taking. 
• Brainstorming
• Breaking down/up the topic

These texts are going to be utilized later, so make sure that you are developing ideas and evidence.
