Summer Homework!

So, the first day of class has come and gone by. If you are on this site, as I have by now requested that you be, I would like you to sign up and sign in so I can give you your first participation points. You will check back at this site during the year on a weekly or more basis. You will be getting participation points, which are a part of the grade for your timely participation in writing responses to my questions and asking questions about other peoples posts. Some of these will be about character--some will be about theme--other about conflict--some will have you watch a video clip and then respond. You can do the work from home or during lunch at school or after school (30 minutes only so I 'll try to keep it short). When you sign up for this, please use your real name and class period so I can give credit to you. If you use a nickname, I'll never know who you are and will not be able to credit you accordingly.

Sometimes, I will list extra credit on this site or the links to trackstars I want you to use in your notes. It's really important that you check back here frequently.

AS a hint, if I were you , I would have my books with me as I came to class tomorrow, along with a pen or two (no pencils to write with please) and plenty o'paper!

You will not have access to the notes you turned in on the first day of class so make sure to bring those books!

Also, bring in your signed plagiarism, film and MOU sheets for credit.

And don't forget to feed the fish while you are contemplating your responses. (On the right side of the blog at the bottom).

  4. Yes, we will be using this during the year. That is why I wanted you to subscribe to the feed, so when I posted something new, you could go and read or watch (and yes, I hope to use film clips, etc.)
