--Please take out/access anything that you need today in order to move forward (e.g., all of your materials for your research-based academic argument [annotated sources, notes, outlining template[s], counterargument materials, etc.]; the "English 10--End-of-Course Assignment 2019" sheet from last class block and any corresponding planning/progress; your Chromebook; etc.

Reminders
- 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!
- Free reading evidence (a one-pager, a "Book Review" template, a book-talk, etc.) is OPTIONAL for the last two marking periods. If you finished a book and decide to present evidence for an excellence score to be reported as part of your Marking Period 6 GPA, you must do so by 3:00 PM on Friday, 6/11. Please make arrangements accordingly.
- I need you to turn in school materials (e.g., Animal Farm and/or The Alchemist) during our last few class blocks together. Also, if you have any other books in your possession that belong to me, I need those back as well!
- 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.
- What would you like from me today (other than TIME)?
--quiet and independent work time as per our compact--you can...
- work on your research paper
- Please let me know if I can score yours today!
- work on your End-of-Course Assignment
- complete and turn in the grammar hammer credit recovery assessment (if you did not do so last class block)
- engage in free reading
- put together evidence of having completed free reading.
- FYI: I am in the process of scoring research papers and will continue doing so throughout the week!
--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 moving forward with regard to the End-of-Course Assignment. Your writing piece is due at the beginning of our last day of class together (about 1.5 weeks from today!).
- What is your "why?"?
--I need you to turn in school materials (e.g., Animal Farm and/or The Alchemist) during our last few class blocks together. Also, if you have any other books in your possession that belong to me, I need those back as well!
*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!).*
