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, 2/23
Semester 2, Day 22 At the beginning of class, I demonstrated how to copy/paste text from the ACES portfolio to Turnitin.com. Students were supposed to have a complete draft for the paragraph about the best definition of a hero ready in class today, so after the demonstration, students took the vocabulary quiz and then uploaded their paragraphs into Turnitin.com when finished. Because the vocabulary quiz had a writing section, it took a bit longer to complete than our previous quizzes. By the time everyone had finished and used the laptops to submit paragraphs to Turnitin.com, we only had time to review noun clauses and for me to explain the homework for this weekend. Homework: 1. Upload paragraph (copy & paste) to Turnitin.com by Saturday 11:59pm. Starting Sunday am, you will have access to the 2 paragraphs shared with you and can work on the peer reviews due Tuesday night. 2 Complete the Fixing Fragments and Run-ons handout picked up in class on Friday. 3. Read the rest of the Prologue in Oedipus (see Part I on Canvas), focusing on the same close reading skill you were responsible for in class this week (characterization, conflict, figurative language, significance/questions/predictions) and adding relevant evidence FOR YOUR SKILL to the Tracking Evidence handout. Upcoming next week: 1. Benchmark assessment on Monday 2. ACT altered schedule on Tuesday. Peer reviews due Tues. by 11:59 pm. 3. Classroom Guidance counselor visit on Thursday re: registration 4. Early release schedule on Friday.
