English 10 Honors--4/27/2018 & 4/30/2018

Jump Off
--Please spend the first few minutes of class completing the following checklist quietly and independently
  • establish (a) rough goal(s) for today's work block--you will have about 70 minutes to work!
  • respond to the following question:
    • What would you like us to agree upon for today's work block so that everyone makes the most out of the time provided (e.g., "Listening to music is okay", "Talking is not aloud", etc.)?
--I need to see the following students during class today:
  • Lauren C.
  • Mady D.
  • Elena D.
  • Leah E.
  • Grace K.
  • Ian W.
S. the C.
--agenda/HW
  • expectations for the class block clarified/HW list shared
Planning/Work Block -- Memoir Project
--goals shared
--work time as per parameters established together

Closure (last 5 mins.)
--evidence of having achieved goals shared

HW (Practice/Take-Home Assessment)
--Complete 45 minutes of Membean training as directed before 11:59 PM on Thursday, 5/3.  If you fail to appropriately train between now and the administration of Vocabulary Quiz #6, you will not be permitted to take the quiz until you catch up (see the "Membean Routine" document).
  • FYI: Several of you have been referred to the main office for central detention due to being quite behind with Membean training.  I will continue writing referrals until you are caught up.  Despite my attempts to hold everyone accountable via less heavy-handed methods, some of you are still lacking responsibility, so here we are...

HW (Class Preparation)
--Read at least 10 pages of your free reading book (memoir still?!) between now and next class.  ALWAYS BRING YOUR FREE READING BOOK TO CLASS!  These last two marking periods, I will randomly check for books and include your level of preparation in my reporting via Schooltool.
--Move forward with regard to your Memoir Project (e.g., create a calendar [if you have not already done so], set rough [or, better yet, S.M.A.R.T.!] goals, and hold yourself accountable for achieving your goals.
--Please continue bringing your copy of Lord of the Flies to class.
Miscellaneous
--Enjoy the weekend--you only get so many of 'em! :)
