Hello everybody,
I hope you're having a fantastic week.
We have a few announcements. First, Open House is tonight from 6:30-8ish. I would love to see you! To the point that I'm offering extra credit if you show up (parents, I mean, I see students every day). If you cannot attend, I understand, but I would like an email just saying hello, who your child is, and any questions or concerns you have about the class. Yearbook parents, meet in my regular classroom, 2209.
Argument Essays. Today students were assigned the Argument Essay that is linked on the Resources page. I've extended the deadline. Your rough drafts need to be done before school on Tuesday, the same day as our ATA, however, your final drafts aren't due until Wednesday at 8:20 (if you turn it in on turnitin.com) or in class (if you hand write it in pen). This is one day later than I told my 1st period, so I wanted to make sure you received the memo. Also, this does not mean don't do work on Friday in class! If you can finish by tomorrow, then do your future self a favor and give yourself less stress~!
Finally, USA Test Prep has added a Writing component and SAT Prep that you can use. Click here for a letter explaining how to use it. Hint, we may have some of these assigned in class, so you need to have a log in for Kell in the next week or so.
In yearbook this week we assigned our first deadline. While there are several draft deadlines, the actual page is due on Sunday, September 28th. There are so many steps that need to be completed before the page goes to the publisher--please make sure you are not only on top of, but ahead of your draft deadlines to make sure you can complete your published deadline. Some students already have really good ideas. Some students haven't finished their assignment due on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to this year and this book, but it will only be as good as the effort you put into it.
