JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "We Are Young" by Fun; "Psychedelic Sally" by Lionel Hampton, from the album "Fun"]

Describe a time when you got so interested in a school assignment that you forgot it was for credit.  If you haven't had this experience, describe a time when you got so "into" what you were doing that you lost track of time.  If you haven't had that experience either, think back on your childhood and describe the last awesomely creative thing you did that was so cool it still puts a smile on your face.


AGENDA:
1. Journal
2.  "Request for Response"
3. MGOTM: vocabulary audits, blog audits, writing your LAUNCH post, planning for next week
4. 1-1 mtgs

HW:
1. Post your LAUNCH [Your Launch is the formal, polished version of the thinking you've been doing for the last 2 weeks.  Recipe: start with your answers to those six questions; stir in the feedback you've gotten in class and on your blog; cook until the idea is complete enough for you to commit to; check in with peers and/or Preston if you need to; write.]
2. Study your vocabulary
3. Bring your resource total to 12 (find one more and/or catch up) and post [RESOURCES: 1], in which you explain where you looked, what you found (please list the resources and summarize the ideas you got out of them), and where your research suggests you look next.
