Today we took notes over inductive vs. deductive thinking, inferences, setting purpose, and textual evidence. We practiced inductive thinking with famous pieces of art analyzing the body language, color symbolism, object placement, etc. We used the specific information to figure out a general conclusion about the story of the artwork. We then read "The House" and discovered the importance of knowing the purpose of WHY we are READING, so that we are efficient and effective readers.
HW: add a page that deals with something you did over the summer; it can be a photo, a drawing, a writing, a collage, an item, a brochure, a ticket...due Monday.
