Thursday, September 11, 2014 . . . never forget

This was the homework:
 Select a color. Conduct research on that color. Where would you expect to find that color in nature? Do people usually like or dislike the color? Is it a calming color, or does the color add excitement to a situation? What are some of your memories of the color? Do you own anything that is that color? Why did you select the color in the first place?
These are just a few of the many questions you could ask yourself and answer on paper. This is a pre-writing activity. Jot down as much as you can. Post your notes in CANVAS by the beginning of class on Thursday.

Class Work

1. Please welcome Andi Robbins from Pearson. She is here to help us get registered on-line for MyWritingLab. (She is stuck on I 10. There is an accident that has traffic stopped for miles. I saw a traffic report before heading to class. She is telling the truth!)

You need the access code that you can find on the cardboard folder you purchased. If you do not have your code, register with a temporary code. You have two weeks to get registered. Don't forget or your work will go away! You will have to do it again.

2. Back to your color . . . what did you discover? (Discussion - speak up twice!)
3. Homework: Read the essay about "blue." On Canvas, list five strengths of the essay. Also list five things you did not like or did not understand. Note if you would give this essay a "thumbs-up or thumbs-down." Explain in three sentences.



4. . You will be completing a survey for the college for the rest of class. If you finish early, you may leave. Thank you for participating.

The following was posted on Facebook by some of my relatives. Take a moment today to remember 9/11/01.

At this moment 13 year ago, millions of Americans went to bed quietly with no thought that the next morning their world would change forever.

That night hundreds packed flight bags they would not live to open. Thousands slept with loved ones for the last time.

One never knows what a new day has in store.

Let us live each day to the fullest and never miss a chance to let those dearest to us know of our love for them.

So, tonight, if you have people  in your life whom you love, tell them . . .
