Introductions (5 min)
Syllabus Review (10 min) Review syllabus, students sign it. Bring home for parents to sign. Student Contracts (5 min) Hit the highlights, students sign it. The Reading Mind- Read Silently (30 min) In this class, I will be asking you to focus- to focus more deeply than we often do. To that end, we’re going to start our year with a discussion about what it takes to deeply focus…and what gets in the way. Spend the next 30 minutes reading. Choose a text that feels right for you. If you finish it, start another. Annotate or jot notes if it helps you. No music, no headphones, no talking. When we’re done reading, we’ll have time to discusstime discuss in small groups, and then reflect in writing (which you will turn in to me).
The Reading Mind- Discussion (15 minutes) Discuss the following questions:
Written Reflection (15 min) Write me a well-structured paragraph in response to the ideas you read. Choose one of the questions from the discussion question list to answer. You need to incorporate specific references to the text, and make connections to your own experiences. Please turn this in on Google Classroom. This is due at the start of class tomorrow, if you need additional time. It is my first sense of you as a writer, so please make it as good as possible given limited time. Introduce Reading Focus (5 min) Every day in my class, we will “read” a text for at least 20 minutes, uninterrupted. There will be no phones, no music, no headphones, no notes. Just time to read. Sometimes this will take the form of a visual text, sometimes it will be “reading” by listening to a podcast. The goal of this is to start building that mental muscle, that brain plasticity, that will allow you to deeply focus when you need to. As the year moves on, we will use this time to deeply read research for your senior thesis. All of this will be done off screen, on hard copies. What Happens Next? For the rest of the week, we’re going to be going over Senior Project, and beginning to generate ideas. This is the capstone of your senior year, and is required to graduate. For the next 4 days, we will be working in various permutations- sometimes a whole senior class, sometimes in small groups. Expect to be present periods 2, 3, 4, and 5, except on Wednesday, when we will want you periods 2, 3, and 4. TOMORROW- Everyone meet in Lori’s room 2nd period! DUE DATES- ON TIME
