I'm very excited to have you in my class at Campbell High School.
First up, let's discuss how you use this blog.
This tab is Weekly Updates. It will just give you an overview of what we have planned in class this week. It is used for a quick updates and head's ups.
The Resources tab for your class is the most important tab you will use. It is where I will upload EVERYTHING for this class, including (but not limited to) important links, copies of assignments, copies of handouts, powerpoints, videos, anything we use in class. If there is a digital version (and I do try to work in digital versions whenever possible) it will be linked on the Resources Tab.
The Calendar tab for your class is the 2nd most important tab for this class. I use my calendar as my lesson plans. It will show you all of the activities we do through out the day. This is important because it not only shows you what is upcoming in our schedule, but is also where you will get the information you missed when you are absent. If you have any questions about what you missed, you can email me at kimberly [do] bundschu [at] cobbk12 [dot] org or discuss it with me before or after class (not during) when you come back, however, I will expect that you first checked the calendar. I put a lot of time into getting that information to you and appreciate it when you use it.
The names of activities should be the same on both the calendar and the resources page to make it easy for you.
Next up, let's talk about your first assignments. All of these assignments will be linked on the Resources page by the first week of school.
Honors World Lit
- You will get a grade when you complete the Student Survey. This is your first homework assignment.
- You first major assignments will be from novel studies of The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. This includes, but is not limited to, your Precourse Reading Assignment which will be collected on day 1, as well as a test. You will need to bring these books to class every day, either physically or electronically.
- You will get your errand passes for your parents/guardians completing the Parent/Guardian Survey AND you complete the Student Survey. These function as your bathroom/I need to go somewhere passes as well as turn into extra credit at the end of the semester if you don't use them. It is very important you get your Parents/Guardians to fill out this survey. Both of these are found on the Resources tab.
