I left you a final round of journal feedback on your most recent blog.
1. Warming up with three good things and Mr. Miles!
2. 4th hour: Checking your grades, reflecting on your successes and needs, and making plans
- Circle any grades that are incorrect and write down why they are incorrect.
- Circle any recent work that you plan on revising/doing for the first time. Write down your plan/deadline for completing this work.
- Offer a brief reflection at the bottom of your grades: Do you feel proud of your work this semester in American Lit? Are these grades an accurate reflection of your learning? Why or why not? Any goals for the final stretch?
3. Recommitting to high standards:
- Our class contract
- Book clubs: Your freedoms and responsibilities
4. Setting your book clubs expectations (please have your signed sheets and books out on your desks):
- Click HERE to revisit what an excellent syllabus looks like.
- Fill out the bookmark: Which reading will be due which days? Who will be in charge of the syllabus each day? Please write this on your bookmark AND in your calendars.
- Create a shared folder called "Book Club Folder." It should be shared with each member of your group and placed inside your Transcendentalism folder. ALL SYLLABI AND CLASSWORK must be placed inside this folder.
- Complete your book club manifesto and place it inside your shared book club folder.
5. Starting to read (if time allows)
HW:
1. Share the documentary contract with your parents/guardians and ask them to sign it. Due Wednesday.
2. Complete your assigned reading/create your syllabus for Thursday.
3. Work on your one-minute speech for Friday (see last Friday's blog if you were absent).
4. If you didn't have your signed letter or book in class today, take care of it immediately. If you have make-up work/late work that you circled on your grade sheet, take care of that as well.
