Daily Annoucements
I post here daily about what we accomplished in class each day, including handouts and links available to students on my CANVAS site.
FRIDAY, 4/27 -- Day 15 of Quarter 4 Today was seminar day! Our main work during class today was a student-led discussion of the novel, Things Fall Apart This is our major assessment activity for this unit. Grades will be posted in Power Schools by the end of the weekend for this assessment of speaking/listening skills as well as critical thinking skills about the novel and its meaning.
I also informed students today about their research topic assignment (we begin research on Monday) and their literature circle book assignment (we begin reading and discussing the book on May 7). Students need to acquire a copy of the book ASAP. I have a few copies in the classroom of the books, which students can use on an emergency basis (in-class only) until May 9. However, they have large sections to read by then, so it's important for them to get a personal copy to use. We are not annotating in the book for this unit, so student may use library copies, e books, borrowed books, etc. Homework: (1st/3rd only): Finish comma exercise 4 on handout by class on Monday. Order or otherwise find a copy of your WWII book and start reading asap.
