Deeper.  Deeper.  Deeper.

More explanation.  More explanation.  More explanation.

Support.  Support.  Support.

The minute you think you've gone deep enough in a piece of writing, push yourself to go deeper.

The minute you think you've explained enough in a piece of writing, explain more.

The minute you think you've offered enough support in a piece of writing, offer more support.

Today's quiz on the title of "The Forecast" and it's double meaning coupled with the PPP papers I have read so far clearly show that we are stopping too soon, under-developing our ideas, and overconfident with our meager explanations.  You can't be willing to settle.  Anything worth doing is worth doing well.  Learning how to write and defend your opinion are worth doing; thus, they are worth doing well.  Plenty of writing ahead.  I want you to take what you've learned from these writing experiences and apply it to your future ones.

We seem much stronger on our introductory clauses and our AAAWWUBIS words today.  keep up the good work.

I like how some people read the blog last night and then told others to read the blog as well.  Good team work.  Keep it up.

You should be reading "Old Glory" tonight and marking up the text and text coding.  Be sure to come up with your one open-ended question as well.  That'll be your ticket in tomorrow.  I want a full house at the start of class!

As you read "Old Glory"  be thinking about what it means to be a good citizen.  Be thinking about the legitimacy of the S.O.S. law.  Be thinking about what you believe in.  Be thinking.

See you soon.
