Greetings from Roots Cafe, Brooklyn!

As I write this, I'm sitting in a Brooklyn hipster cafe. I've just had some blueberry coffee cake, and I'm pretty sure that 2/3 of the people here are teachers. They're all talking about lesson plans, and they all look tired. I want to tell them it's too early in the year to be that tired. Lord knows how they'll be doing in March. EVERYONE has the same MacBook Pro.


I've just finished glancing over your analytic work on the Attica piece, and I think we need to spend some time refining our use of direct quotations.  Our goal for today, therefore, is learning how to connect direct quotations to our writing and thinking. I've put together a lesson that breaks down the process a little more closely. If you think you're SOLID with this, read through the Power Point on your own, and complete the assignment on your own.

Before we get started, I want you to GET STARTED by answering the following question (as a comment in My Blog): There are 6 pails, 3 of the pails are filled with water. Can you move only one pail and make a pattern of: full pail, empty pail, full pail, empty pail, full pail, empty pail?

Look at the pails in formulating your response!!
 Remember, some of you have a reflection and annotation due tomorrow.

    Yes you can. Simply move the second pail to the fifth and fill the water to the other one without moving it.

    you would have to move the empty pail to the middle of both full pails. then you move the 2nd empty pail to put between the 2nd full pail of water.and there you got your patterns.
