[***UPDATE 17 OCT 8:17 A.M. // Due to yesterday's PSAT we will be discussing "The Art of Hosting Good Conversations Online" today-- you can consider this agenda a preview of coming attractions for Friday, October 18. I'm leaving this up today so that you can choose where you want to devote your journal writing focus and reading, depending on your pace and independent work.]
[***UPDATE 17 OCT 9:26 A.M. // After working with 2nd period, I realized that I didn't include the vocab/"Art of Hosting..." quiz in my thinking for tomorrow (Fri 10/18) -- we will start with that and the journal, and then we'll see how we're doing on time. We may have to kick the "Pedestrian" can down the road until Monday.]
JOURNAL TOPIC:
If you go online and look at pictures of New York City or London, you'll see people walking everywhere. Why don't more people walk in Santa Maria?

1. Journal
2. "The Pedestrian"
POST:
