We started the day by reciting our two poems that some students have already memorized. We then did a group exercise in which groups discussed their favorite comfort food, at which Daniel exclaimed his favorite comfort food was knowledge. After a few minutes of chatter between groups, Ms Witham announced an activity in which the teacher read random student autobiographies. The students where to make inferences about the student based on the autobiography. We analyzed the structure of the autobiography, where we assemble a random collection of personal experiences, starting each line with "I" + a verb. For example: "I like dogs, especially the little ones that yap all day long." Afterwards, Ms Witham introduced us to the concept of being subtle and mysterious as well as specific. The students were then instructed to write their own autobiographies and turn in their syllabi. To make the task of writing a biography easier students were given a list of sentence starter. Israel asked me to put him in the blog so here is Israel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel
