For FR and Mon

1.) No Class Friday

From Wed's Opening Writing:

“In a study of 8th and 9th graders, students who played more violent video games were also more likely to see the world as a hostile place, to get into frequent arguments with teachers, and to be involved in physical fights.”
*physiological: relating to the body’s normal functions and processes.
Using the information presented in the paper, experiences from your own life, and/or other information you have read, write an article for your school newspaper about the negative effects of playing violent video games.

From your brainstorming in Wed's class, organize your argument into an outline and email to me Friday.

For MON:

Read "Meaning of a Word" p. 460 and "A Note on Ho" p. 463--and be prepared to discuss. Review the analysis think sheet. Woot. Have a great weekend.
