Week of 4/30 Updates

Hello Sophomores,

We will finish our debates this week.  Please see previous posts for days and dates.  Those of you who are going this week - the bar has been set by your classmates.  Please bring your best work.  You will turn in your writings and work cited.  We will continue to assess one another with our online rubric. You will all receive a printout with your Argument grade average and classmate feedback at the end of the week.  Please be patient.

Testing also continues this week.
Tues - Per.1,3,7
Weds - Per. 2, 4, 6
Thursday/Friday - Transition into Poetry Unit - Poetry Slam-akosky! Phrases and Phases!
* We will watch the documentary film - Louder Than a Bomb.
Inspiration and motivation for our own purposes as writers and spoken work poets and performers!

Important Dates:
Tuesday - Office Hours/Tutoring/Make Up Work - after school.  Get help. Get ahead.
Wednesday - Poetry Club @ lunch. Extra Credit for attending.
Thursday - Goodreads Book Selection Check.  Have your book with you to receive credit.
Goodreads review is due on or before 6/4.

I will update the blog again during the week with additional information.  Grades close this Tuesday and you will receive your report card on Friday.  If you are concerned with your grade, I suggest you come and speak with me ASAP.  Your last minute concerns are not my last minute concerns.  There at just six weeks of school left and 30 days to show your effort.  Bring your best each day.
