Today is our first class, and we should de a little negotiating. We should talk and discuss what we will do from now to the end of the course. One thing I do know, is that in general, HCT students have difficulty reading. We need to develop this skill, and we need to work hard at it.
First write a little reflection from the post it notes you had. Write you first impression (what you thought at the beginning - post it note 1) and how you felt after (now I think - post it note 2).
Today you will have a newspaper article and will need to reflect on the following questions:
1) What are some new vocabulary or ideas you got from your article?
2) What was the main idea of it?
3) What were three connections you made with other articles?
4) How can newspapers help you a) develop reading and writing skills, and b) be a more critical thinker of the world?
Together we will discuss more about course goals, but save your notes in a file for this class in your H drive.
