Agenda, September 6

• Late: Six T-charts with their editorials. (If you're reading this in time, feel free to mess with fonts, formatting, and whatever else you need to do to minimize the number of pages necessary to print your editorials. It doesn't matter what they look like.)
• Due Now: Read "The New Colossus" and "Trump's top immigration official ..." Take useful notes that will help you answer the question "What does it mean to be an American?" Write on the documents. Be sure to look up unfamiliar words.
• Do Monday: Bring a quad or college ruled composition book and a roll of tape to class. Bring photos or magazines that will help you make an awesome collage.
• Due Tuesday: Read "How to Read an Essay You Must Analyze." Apply the skills in that handout to the essay "Shooting an Elephant," by George Orwell, from 50 Essays, 2nd Edition. 

Today's Agenda:

1. A pair o' paradoxes
2. "You'll find me surly and unhelpful ..."
