august 22

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "You Talk Too Much" by Run-D.M.C.; "Communication Breakdown" by Led Zeppelin]

So many phrases say the same thing: Talk is cheap. A picture's worth a thousand words. It's not what you said, it's how you said it. Since words are so easy to create we tend to mistrust them. We use our intuition to "read between the lines" and determine what someone really means.  Describe how we listen, read, and learn without depending on words.

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Discuss Paul Auster piece
2.5 Vocabulary
3. Introduction: Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown"
4. Guest speaker: Cal Poly Architecture Professor Mark Cabrinha

 HW:
1. Read "Young Goodman Brown" and post to your blog (title: YOUNG GOODMAN BROWN) with first impressions and at least three questions/observations.
2. In a comment to the vocabulary: fall list #2 post, please suggest vocabulary words from the story for next week's list.  Choose the words that will help you understand the story most.
