English I students finished looking at the difference between summary and analysis.

Annotations from sixth and seventh periods
We noticed a few things:
- Everything in a summary is in the text.
- There are many portions of the text not even discussed in the analysis.
- The analysis contains inferences whereas the summary tends to be simply recounting the events of the text.
We’ll begin learning how to write analysis tomorrow.
English 8 students worked with a Socratic Seminar about the book we read yesterday, Thank You, Mr. Faulker. Fourth period students experienced their first Socratic Seminar.

Fourth period’s first Socratic Seminar
Fifth period students began apply some new skills in their SS. They also had a new job, the Big Board — a note-taker for the process. Here were our notes:
- Why do you think Eric was such a bully to Trisha
- Eric was a bully because he felt dumb
- Eric also was jealous of Trisha
- Eric was a bully to Trisha because he wanted to get his anger out
- Eric never had envy of Trisha’s drawings
- Mr. Faulkner treated everyone the same
- Eric does not feel like he is being treated fairly
Journalism students got to use the Hughes Chromebooks — the inaugural use!
Homework
- English 8 Studies: none.
- English I Honors: continue working on the benchmark test.
