Hello All!
In looking at the schedule next week (with that test on Wednesday) as well as the results of today's quiz (some people did awesomely, some ... need to make sure they study over the weekend), I think some specific studying might be helpful to students over the weekend.
Their Annotation Guides will be due on Tuesday to make sure they are prepared for the test on Wednesday in class. What I need for them to do is to make sure their guides are complete, that they can summarize each chapter of the book, that they understand the analysis we have discussed in class. I also need them to ask questions during the discussion on Tuesday--meaning they should write down any questions they have that they specifically want us to discuss on Tuesday.
Since we finished the book in class today, a strategy I would use is to listen to the book this weekend (so that you're reading it again) while you go through your notes (there are many copies available on youtube, just search "anthem audiobook"). As you listen to the book, edit your notes. Answer questions you had on your first read-through. Ask new questions about what is confusing and bring those questions to class on Tuesday.
We also had our first big writing assignment due on turnitin.com yesterday. Some students turned it in, some did not. Some completed their "Sign up for Electronic Accounts you need for this class," some did not. Please use this weekend to make sure you've completed both assignments. Both can be found in the "Sign up for Electronic..." link on the resources page.
Have a great three day weekend!
