Now that I SHOULD have everyone's Inquiry Paper rough draft, we will spend the next few days helping each other revise and proofread through writing groups and conferences. Remember, the FINAL DRAFT is DUE on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10!
See you in class,

Source Sheet and Interview Notes DUE next MONDAY, OCT. 19
Be sure to record AT LEAST 7 sources on your source sheet to turn in by the end of the day Monday and AT LEAST 1 interview with someone NOT in your class. These will be homework grades along with going toward your grade for the Inquiry Project.
By the way, here are a handful of links to sources being used by students (or thrown out there by me) for each of the topics. Feel free to comment to let us know what you think or to mention other source material you've found that may be useful. For REVENGE: Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask of Amontillado; Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" (yeah, it's a country song, but if you've never heard it before, give it a listen). LOVE: Alicia Keys with "Fallen;" a dance number from So You Think You Can Dance featuring Twitch and Kherington (dance choreography and music, together). ART: Paramore with "Misery Business;" the Pixar movie Ratatouille; Ray Bradbury's book Fahrenheit 451.

Bring in AT LEAST ONE SOURCE on MONDAY, Oct. 12
Thanks for your comments on the post last week. Don't forget that your homework this weekend is to bring in at least one source for your Inquiry Paper on Monday. You may bring the source into class or E-mail me the source (or a link or description of the source) before the start of class for credit.
Once again, examples of the types of sources you might bring in are song lyrics, a copy of a song on your iPod, a print-out of a movie or television script, a clip from a movie or television show, a magazine or magazine article, a book, pictures, interview notes, an internet link, etc. I'd like many of you to share your source for the class, so be sure it is something you think has something meaningful to add to our conversation about the class topics.
See you on Monday!
