Welcome back to school. I wanted to thank everyone for settling in nicely today and for being able to get right back into the grind of things.
Make sure to check your marks online to find out how you are doing, what your are missing, and what you might want to redo. The marks have been updated with everything that was handed in prior to the winter break. I will try my best to get things that were handed in late marked.
7-13
- We will continue working on the Canadian Documentary project tomorrow. Your group notes should be finished by the end of class on Thursday January 7.
- Make sure that you are ready tomorrow to take some more notes on plot based on the movie “9” as we will finish watching it tomorrow. The reason we are doing this is to help you think about the short stories you are going to be writing and how to approach your plot.
7-16
- During tomorrow’s class you will be given more time to work on the Canadian Documentary Project group notes. There will be laptops for you to use in class to help you if you need them. If you are already done then you can start working on the next portion of the assignment. Your notes will be collected at the end of class tomorrow Wednesday January 6.
8-CHA
- Excellent job on your Passionate Poetic Perspective Projects and also the Invention / Discovery Project. I was really impressed with the work that many of you are doing. Now I just have to get all of you to realize that you are capable of doing amazing work and that you should be proud of what you are doing.
- Remember that your next Reading Response Journal entry is due tomorrow Wednesday January 6. Remember that you were given an extension on this until after the Winter Break so there is no excuse for not having it done.
- Come prepared, or for some of you not prepared for your 30 second speeches tomorrow. Remember that we are starting to look at persuasive writing and that the point of tomorrow is to try to convince everyone that you are on expert on the topic you are talking about.
- Continue to think about the question that I asked you to take notes on while watching 1492 – Conquest of Paradise.
