Thanksgiving Break, Makeup Work, and Raising Grades

Hello All,

I hope you all have a fantastically wonderful Thanksgiving break and holiday.

Many students have already turned in their Capstone Projects to turnitin.com.  As a reminder, that final assignment, the 5 paragraph essay with in text citations, is due tonight before midnight.

Students who have not submitted assignments to Turnitin.com may turn in their assignments for late credit until the end of November.  After that time I will not accept any late credit.  I hope students use this time wisely to make up any major assignments they are still missing.  As always, the instructions for all assignments are on the Resources Page (you'll need to log in to your students.cobbk12.org account--remember, your password is your computer password, the same as Noodletools).

Some students have asked for some ways to raise their grades over the break.  I've created an assignment, that has 2 parts and will go in both the Reading and Writing categories.  You can find that assignment here, or on the Resources Page.

I want every student to do as well as they can in the class and hope that, if you need it, you can use this time to help your grade.  You can do this.  We have 3 more weeks and if you work hard, you can pull your grade up.  I believe in you and am giving you this opportunity to show that you have mastered the standards of World Literature.

To all the students who don't need the extra grades, thank you so much for the effort and work you've put into the class to get your grade to where it should be.  Y'all are fantastic and make sure you keep doing what you're doing in these last 3 weeks.

After the break, On Level will have a small unit on Dramatic Justice and Honors will go back to some classics.  These final weeks, I plan on focusing on the skills you'll need to start next year off right.

Have a great break!
