Hello Students (and Parents),
I was so happy to meet all of you and am looking forward to an excellent school year.
In both World Lit and Honors World Lit, we've been looking at and analyzing the Precourse Reading book (On Level: Chinese Cinderella, Honors: The Kite Runner), this week, and we'll be using our knowledge to apply it to a 2nd text next week (On Level: Empire of the Sun, Honors: How to Read Literature Like a Professor). Every student should have finished reading their first book by Sunday night at the latest and be prepared for several in-class, timed writings during the week. Our Precourse Reading Assignments are due on Friday next week, on turnitin.com before midnight and we will have computers to use only on Tuesday. I have already started to put grades into the gradebook, so you can see what you've done that you still need to turn in, or what is upcoming.
In Yearbook, we've assigned every page and every deadline throughout the semester and those assignments are in StudentVue already. We've also finalized our Theme and created our Journalist Notebooks (mini-notebooks with deadlines and reminders). Our first pages are due next Friday. Try your best to submit your pages for grading before the deadline so that you can get any feedback prior to your deadline and have time to fix it. Remember, if it gets to me after the deadline or I have to fix it, you cannot earn full points. From what I've seen so far, we're working steadily towards those deadlines and I look forward to our finished book.
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.
