Week 3 -- Open House

Hello Students and Parents,

On Thursday, we're having our Open House.  As the Yearbook Adviser, I'll be in the cafeteria selling our Yearbook in the cafeteria.  If you'd like to speak to me specifically about the class, the best way to communicate with me is through email or you can come down to the cafeteria for a brief conversation. 

This week in Multi Lit we're finishing up our Precourse Reading, turning in the Dialectical Journal to turnitin.com and having a Socratic Seminar before starting to work with our Springboard texts.

Our Yearbook class is in crunch mode as we work hard to complete our pages for printing.  The assignments and deadlines are in the gradebook so you can see what's coming up. 

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.  I stay late on Wednesdays (with the exception of today due to an unexpected appointment) and love it when students email me. 

Happy Wednesday!

Week 2

Hello All,

In Multi Lit this week, we've been working through our Precourse Reading of Between the World and Me and completing our Dialectical Journals, which are due on turnitin.com.  Yesterday in class I did tell students to get through page 100 by Thursday.  There may be a quiz tomorrow.  Be prepared!

In Yearbook, our first hard deadline is this Friday.  Pages must be in Presubmit before the end of the day on Friday, no more corrections, no more missing information or pictures.  Remember, it's 50% off if you are late. 

Have a great Wednesday!

Welcome to the New Year!

Hello All!

I'm so glad that you are in my class this semester!

To start, I'd like to give you a little tour of this blog.

This tab is Weekly Updates--it's just a head's up of what's happening in the class this week.  For example, this week we're getting used to the class environment and starting the Precourse Reading Dialectical Journal that will be due next Friday, 1/18/19, on turnitin.com.

The next tab is the Resources Page.  This page is where all of the links used for the class will be posted, including the Syllabus, and copies of assignments, presentations, notes, etc.  This is the most useful tab for the class.

The next tab is the Classroom Calendar.  This is the head's up for major due dates and what's going on in the class. 

My email and phone number are listed above (written out so that I don't get spam).  If you ever have any questions, please feel free. 

I am looking forward to an amazing year!
