Today Elle listened to a TedTalk by Matt Cutts on "Try something new for 30 days." She decided on a 30-day challenge for herself and wrote this out on her laptop (setting up MLA format). She will look up two quotes per day for thirty days and track them on her document. I showed her how to inset quotes to her sentences and document them as MLA parenthetical citations. After this we reviewed the critical thinking elements and quickly wrote sentences out on the board under her entrepreneur project to elaborate and think deeply about her business plan. We also reviewed argumentative basics from last week. I then asked Elle to try to make a "motto" for herself. She found examples on the phone. She wrote hers on her whiteboard. (:
