Hi all! Many of you have asked how you can bring up your grade. I think I've found a solution. Below is your final project that is due May 1. This is called a Book Mosaic. It is pretty self-explanatory-- just read the instructions at the top of the sheet . There is even an outline of where to put each section of the mosaic! Surprise... this will be your final grade for the semester and will also be a FORMAL grade. Should you choose to complete it, you could bring your grade up a point or two (not a mathematician... I teach English!) Also, to make this easier on you all and to give everyone a fighting chance, please complete this project over our last novel, "The Awakening". Note: For the 'connection' tiles, you should make a connection between the text and something in your own life, or something you have observed (in life, or maybe in a movie or another book.) Since it's a formal grade, this will be graded just like you were sitting in class, so please make sure you do your best work on this. Don't forget to read the directions at the top of the table and complete that part as well before turning in your mosaic! So there it is! Again, this is here for you to complete if you want to bring your grade up and continue learning, but you MUST turn it in by May 1 at 3pm.
Hey all! I miss you SO MUCH! Just know that I'm sending each of you a virtual hug right now. Per the letter from Mr. Pruitt that went out last week, here's a couple of things I want to make sure I'm communicating and reiterating to you all:
1.) If you are failing as of March 16, you have until May 1 to complete the work that has been on this webpage since school was out on March 17. 2.) If you are NOT failing but you would like to improve your grade, you have until May 1 to bring up your grade. 3.) How do you bring up your grade? By completing the work posted on this website since March 16. 4.) I will put in all the work you have done since March 17 back in GradeBook once I get approval from administration. I'm hoping it will be sometime this week. 5.) Look for this week's lessons in another post sometime Monday afternoon/ early Tuesday. (Theater, yours will be on the Theater tab.) I know this is a trying time for you all, but I want you to know that I and your teachers are here for you! If you need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or one of your other teachers or someone on administration. Love- Mrs. Dill Hey all!
I hope you had a relaxing Spring Break (well... a relaxing break in general) and are ready to dive back in with our book, The Awakening. This week, your job is to finish reading chapter 21-30 and work on your study guide, as you have done every week. I am also tagging on another project I hope you will enjoy! The one assignment you will be turning in on or before April 9 before 11:59 pm is a Twitter page based on one of the characters from The Awakening! Now, some of you might not have Twitter, so I have also attached a Twitter page for you to view as an exemplar as well as a blank template you will use to complete your project. Get creative. Make a funny handle (@independentwoman or @x-pressyoseff for Edna). This is going to be fun! Here are your rules/ expectations: 1. You must fill out EVERY portion of this page. (If you do not have a printer, you must draw this out on paper and fill it out that way.) The BLUE birds are what YOUR character would say. The GREEN birds are what your character has retweeted. 2. You must be creative but academic at the same time. Be sure to use speech etiquette from their time period and speak as if you were the character. (I really hope you get creative with this. Everyone needs a good laugh at this point.) 3. You must use academic language as well as sticking to how your chosen character would have spoken to others. No cursing or crude language should be anywhere on your assignment. 4. Your project should reflect knowledge based on what happens in chapters 21-30. You cannot use information from only chapter 21 and nothing from the other chapters. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected] or message me on Remind. Can't wait to see your projects! |
