--Please pick up a copy of the "English 10--End-of-Course Assignment 2019" sheet from the front table.  I would like to re-read this document as well as scroll through the blog together before discussing the nature of the remainder of the school year with you.

S. the C.
--Reminder: It is important for you to stay caught up with regard to all of your coursework.  It is in your best interest to check the blog and Schooltool often.  Additionally, if you have an "INC" for a Marking Period, following up with me ASAP would be wise!

• What would you like from me (other than TIME)?

--agenda/HW

Flex Block
--Reminder: Here is the compact ("gameplan") under which we are working so that your productivity is maximized:  

Compact for Independent Work Time

• A quiet environment will be established and maintained.  You have agreed to "police" yourselves to assure that this happens.
• Music will play lightly in the background.  If you prefer, you can listen to your own music via a device and earbuds/headphones.
• You are expected to set and aim to achieve a goal for today's work block.

--quiet and independent work time as per our compact--you can...

• work on your research paper
• work on your End-of-Course Assignment
• complete and turn in the grammar hammer credit recovery assessment
• engage in free reading.

Ticket-Out-the-Door -- Essays Shared via Email

• FYI: I will continue scoring research papers this weekend!

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!  During the final marking period, I intend to randomly check for books and include your level of preparation in my reporting via Schooltool.
Writing
--Continue thinking about the End-of-Course Assignment question and begin (continue?!) working on the assignment itself!  Your writing piece is due on our last academic day of class (two weeks from today!).

• What is your "why?"?

Miscellaneous

*I AM AVAILABLE AFTER SCHOOL PRETTY MUCH DAILY FROM NOW UNTIL THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS ONE-ON-ONE (ESPECIALLY THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE STRUGGLING--BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF AND TAKE INITIATIVE!).*
--Enjoy the weekend--you only get so many of 'em! :)
