Devotional Text: John 1:1
Students spent 25 minutes writing an essay in response to a practice SAT prompt.
Mr. Stone shared the address for the class blog and announced the second essay the students will write will be a narrative essay/remembering-an-event essay. In preparation for this essay, he read aloud Annie Dillard's "God in the Doorway" and the first part of "Writing God in the Doorway." The class briefly discussed Dillard's "God in the Doorway." The students noted the multiple narratives contained in the essay and its moral ending.
Mr. Stone talked about his own college English composition teacher and her emphasis on the use of "concrete and specific" details.
Homework: Finish reading Dillard's "Writing God in the Doorway" and Jean Brandt's "Calling Home." There will be a quiz on Monday.
