Spring Break and Assignment Update

Hello All!

I am so proud of how hard so many of you worked this week to get your responsibilities done and bring up your grades.  I know that I am feeling so much more comfortable with where y'all stand going into these last 28 days of high school. 

Make sure you've checked your grades.  I love how many of you have been using the opportunity to submit, get feedback, and submit again.  Your grades reflect your effort to get things done in a timely manner. 

I've graded all Photo Essays that have been submitted to me.  If your grade is a 0, I don't have it and I need it by the end of Spring Break if you want to earn credit.  If your grade is a 1, please fix the issue we've discussed preventing you from earning credit and resubmit it by the end of Spring Break.  If you don't, you'll keep the grade you've earned. 

I've graded all Reflective Essays that have been submitted to me.  At the end of the class, I'll be putting in the zeros if you haven't turned it in yet (it was due on Wednesday).  You'll need to complete it and turn it in by the end of Spring Break if you want to earn credit.

By your request, I've compiled a completely optional list of grade recovery activities.  This is specifically for students who are not happy with their current grade in the class as these assignments can add to your grade on the specific assignments listed.  You may do 3, 2, 1, or none of the assignments.  Your effort will depend on how many points are added to your grade (up to 20) and you cannot get more than 100 on any assignment using these activities.  You can find the link to the assignments here, and, of course, on the Resources Page.  I know many of you don't need it, but I wanted to give you the opportunity.

I hope you have a fantastic Break!

Photo Essay

Hello All!

I am so happy looking at the Photo Essays that many of you have already submitted--they look great! 

For those of you who haven't earned points yet, please work on what we've talked about and turn it in ASAP.  Those zeros become permanent at the end of these 6 weeks.  Don't wait until then, because before Spring Break you also have your Reflective Essay we've been working towards.

I hope you have a fantastic weekend.
