- As we work through your Human Rights Project, make sure you are doing a little bit at a time so you don't stress at the end. Make sure you are following your checklist. Make sure you are going through the directions and following the rubrics.
Two more days until we get a break! You make it!

Multigenre Human Rights Research Project
Hello All!
I've updated each class's calendar with the time schedule of our Multigenre Human Rights Research Project--including which days will be in class work days, which days we'll be in the lab, and which day we'll begin our presentations.
I've also updated the calendar with the vocabulary expectations as well as the book we'll begin to read in class after the break (I have a class set so this will be in class reading--if you'd like to purchase your own copy of the book, you may, of course. Only purchase part I--part II is more of a college level text).
Happy 4 more days until the break! You can do it! Only a little longer!

Progress Reports come home tomorrow and What's Up Next Week
Hello All!
I've posted a communication with your child's progress on each of your ParentVue accounts. If you email is accurate in the system, I've also emailed the message to you.
If you did not receive this email, please check your ParentVue for the communication, as well as update your contact information in ParentVue so that you'll get all future communications.
Next week we'll begin our Human Rights Multigenre Research Project. This project is a huge grade, so this is a great opportunity for everyone to bolster their grades--provided they follow all of the directions. Please check in with your child as they progress throughout the next few weeks. They'll have a timeline checklist in order to make sure they're on track.
Students will also be reading selections that will go along with their Human Rights Project that are varied by level. Honors will start to read the outside book Night tomorrow, On Level will be reading selections in class with a class set (this does mean that if a student is absent, they will have to arrange with me to use a book before or after school--we don't have enough to go home).
Happy Thursday!

On Level Make Up Weekend
Hello All,
Starting today, I'm giving the World Lit students the chance to raise their grades. We started working on the Convince Yourself Essay today and walked them through their graphic organizers because I want them to get full points on this assignment. That is due by Tuesday, but I hope they complete it tomorrow. I will give them bonus points if they turn it in, completed and marked per the rubric, by Friday.
Tomorrow in class they'll have an extra credit extension assignment. Some more creative ways that they can show their knowledge to raise their test grades. Those are due in class tomorrow.
Over the weekend, if there is any assignment on turnitin.com that they have NOT turned in (they can log in and show you what they have and haven't submitted. If it says View, then they turned it in. If they cannot View it, it is not submitted.) they may turn it in for late points. Not much, but better than the 0 that they have currently earned.
Please make sure your child uses this weekend to make the most of these opportunities. After this weekend, those zeros will stand.
If they are on top of all of their assignments, I hope they have a fantastically relaxing long weekend.
Our Unit 2 Vocabulary quiz is on Tuesday. Don't forget to go over those words a bit each day over the weekend. I've linked to online practice on the resources page.
