We started the period off with a refresher about the senior paper we will be starting soon and Mr. Rivers showed us a document that we would be using for the class period (SHS Academics on google docs).
From there he began telling us that while Sparta has a lot of disciplines to offer there are still tons more for us to major in or study in college. We all then worked together to come up with as many majors and programs as we could think of and that's when Mr. River began helping out and describing certain disciplines. From there we talked about some of Mr. Rivers experiences in college with what he majored in and how it lead him to the English teacher job he has now. Then we got a little off topic with asking about college and some random questions and after about 10 minutes of that and a nice photo of Mr. Rivers with long hair, just search up "Brent Rivers" if you're curious its the third photo, we finished coming up with disciplines. We were then introduced to another assignment we would be working on which is the "Evidence of Synthesis" document on classroom. In the document there is a link to a NY Times page which talks about Climate change in fiction and if it is really still fiction. In that document as a class we found what the author, or fiction, argues and what the scholar argues. This would lead to our small homework assignment which is in our notes we have to combine the two arguments into one.
