Day 4

Seniors,

I went to a Canvas training, so you had a sub.

You read "Montgomery Boycotts" in the Windows and Mirrors textbook in my room and answered questions.

Come in to use the textbooks to answer the questions as make up.

See you tomorrow.

Day 3

Today we annotated the article "It's a Love-Hate Relationship with Technology" by Marco R. della Cava.

Please complete the following:

1. On page 10 of your "Writing Manual" that you received on the first day is the "AACC: Annotation, Abstract, Contextual Connection". Please annotate your article by doing numbers 5 and 9 in the non-fiction section (the bottom half of the page).

2. Answer these questions on the back: One paragraph for each question.

• What value did you place on technology growing up?
• What value do you place on it now?
• What value do you anticipate it will hold for you in the future?

You may come pick up the article in person or download it from the "Helpful Handout" section on the right side of this screen. It will be available for download after 5 pm on 8/26.

Thanks,

Ms. Lewis

Day 2

Day 2

Today we discussed the importance of getting to know each other in class. Here are the highlights: Avoid awkwardness... no "hey you"s, easier to show someone your work for peer review, and more likely to share thoughts during discussions, and therefore, NO judgements because you know and respect the person you're working with. 

All the best,

Ms. Lewis

Day 1

Here's what we did:

• Discussion of classroom "Guidelines and Procedures". The PowerPoint will be available soon.
• Discussion of Disclosure Statement-which needs to be signed by both a parent/guardian and by the student. A downloadable version is available in "Helpful Handouts" to the right on this screen.
• Summer Reading: The assignment that you were to have completed before school started will be turned in with your "Summer Reading Writing Assignment" (these are two different assignments-you will need to come to my classroom to get a copy of this take home assignment), so you may use the quotes you found to aid you in answering the questions.

Don't Forget:

• You are required to read one outside book of your choice per semester. This can be fiction or non-fiction, the only requirement is that you choose a book befitting an 12th grade student, i.e. no children's books, or elementary or middle school books. You will need to show me, or email with the title and author of the book if you're reading an electronic version, for approval once you have chosen.
• You need a composition notebook that is just for this class so please come with one every day.
