HW 12/15

Good evening. In case I am not there tomorrow, I will leave some work for you regarding HOD. You can work in groups to complete the assignment. I will follow up tomorrow evening with details about Friday's presentation. If I don't see you tomorrow, have a great day, and please be respectful of the class, school, and substitute teacher.

Follow-up

So for tomorrow, it appears that Tatiana will be presenting as her passage ends with "at least one listener was awake besides myself." However, I may have skipped someone in between them. If you have "They had been talking about Kurtz," or something in between, you are up next. Please email me if you have this quote. Have a good night.

HW 12/13

Hello. For this evening, I would like you to read the essays that we began reading in class today. Make sure to spend a little time looking closely at the essays and evaluating them for their content, length, style, sophistication, etc. Mark the score you would give it and bring it to class tomorrow.

There should be a group presenting tomorrow. So if you know you are up next, please prepare. I will check and re-post tonight when I get home.

Have a good night

HW 12/9

Hello. For this evening, I would like you to read the section of the text that we went over again and make sure that you are comfortable with what is happening. We will not have a presentation, but we will do some work - possibly group - with the text. Next week I will be giving a 45 minute M/C test. Continue reading your independent books. Have a good night
.

HW 12/7

Hello. For tonight, please begin answering the questions from today's handouts. Also, please read the passage for Thursday's presentation. Because we are moving slowly through the text, you should read the passages closely and at least two times. Have a great night.

HW 12/6

Hello. For tonight's homework, I would like you to close read the next section of the text, which will be presented by Johanna and Randy. That section begins where we left off today and ends with "... you won't have the opportunity." They will focus on Conrad's characterization of the company men. I would like to thank the presenters so far. You have done a nice job of focusing your discussion. I would also like to thank the class for your active engagement in the activities and for being well-prepared.

Please continue to work on your independent reading. If there is no other work posted, you should use that time to make progress on your reading. There is always something to do.

Have a great night.

HW12/1

Good evening. For tonight, please read the next section of the book. Tomorrow's passage will be presented by Ashley and Jordan. I would like to thank you for being prepared for, and engaged during, the first student presentation.

Tomorrow, I will use the first 10 minutes to discuss today's film clip assignment and then we will move on to HOD. While we will be doing presentations most everyday, please be advised that your date may change. There are other things I would like to do, so the book may get pushed back. On friday, we will have a timed write or m/c test. This test will be strictly practice/diagnostic so do not worry about the outcome. Remember to prepare for tomorrow by close reading the passage. Prepare some comments, questions, or ideas for discussion. Have a great night.
