10-15 Happenings

I will not be in class today. Please be respectful of your teacher. Thanks.

We reviewed the Packer Contest, checked supplies and checked the Fear & Dead Poets' Society Review Sheet. Students took the Fear & Dead Poets' Society Test. I handed out Blog Log #1. Students journaled about personal experiences and discussed this with their pair-and-share partner as well as the class. Students received the blue Personal Experience Speech Packet, were introduced the Personal Experience Speech assignment and given time to begin working on Parts 1-6 of the Personal Experience Speech assignment.

Assignment
  • Complete Parts 1-6 of the Personal Experience Speech Packet. (DUE Wednesday)
  • Respond to the blog entry, 3-2-1 Discussion of the Fear Module. (DUE Wednesday)
  • Answer the blog poll, What did you think of the Fear Module? (DUE Wednesday)
  • Complete Blog Log #1. (DUE Wednesday)
All extra credit assignments are optional.
Please remember that all handouts can be downloaded and printed out at www.edline.net.

Hi Mr. Buckley,

I did the research paper in your 1/2 B class instead of watching the Dead Poet's Society. I noticed that there is much more available extra credit for those who watched the movie. I think that the people doing the paper should get an equal chance of receiving extra credit.
Thanks,
Tara G

Sorry Tara. There will be other opportunities to gain extra credit in the upcoming weeks.
