  2. Homework • Read chapters 1 & 2 of Great Gatsby (1-38) • active notes • be ready for quiz • (feel free to use SparkNotes or other resources to AID your comprehension! I linked a few sites on the Am Lit Great Gatsby page) • Vocabulary Unit 17 (periods 1, 2, 3, 5 only) • exercises 2 & 3 answers only in journals • be ready for quiz on units 17 & 18 on 1/28 (1, 2); 1/29 (3, 5); 1/30 (7) • Word Bank & journal due 3/27/13 before you leave for the day • Tempus Legendo Book Reviews • Tempus Tracker due 3/27/13 • Both Book Reviews due 3/27/13

  3. Jobs! Marking Period 3 • Journal Keeper • Collector/Distributor (super-reliable!) • Timer Keeper • PowerPoint Advancer (wireless mouse) • Alternate

  4. Journal: “New Expectations for MP3”Take notes as you see fit • Vocabulary Units • Every other unit you’ll have a vocab quiz to demonstrate your mastery = no more checking of HW • You’ll complete one or two more DYNAMIC unit presentations before the end of the marking period (New schedules! Tape them into your journals!) • Tempus Legendo Trackers & Reviews • REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU READ DURING TEMPUS, write an entry • When the Tempus Tracker sheet is full, turn it in and GET A NEW ONE • Finish your TWO book reviews on the wiki at your own leisure BEFORE 3/27/13 (the post pages on the wiki will be locked at 11:59 on 3/27/13) • SEE ME IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES POSTING TO THE WIKI

  5. Journal: “New Expectations for MP3”(continued)Take notes as you see fit • Reading Homework • Expectations + your desire for “less work” + my requirement to check your comprehension mastery = QUIZ/other assessment instead of assigned written homework • MORE DISCUSSIONS: Seminar-style: opportunities for student discussion leaders! • Poor grade on quiz? Complete 5-item dialectical OR a 2-page WW writing assignment and TURN IT IN (within 2 weeks of the quiz grade being posted on PowerSchool) to demonstrate mastery of the chapter(s). • Due Dates for Papers • Writing Center? Should you use it? • Rewrite/Resubmission Policy • Must EDIT and go to the Writing Center (I will not grade it without a pink slip from the Writing Center) • Must be turned in within TWO WEEKS of the essay grade being posted on PowerSchool) • 2 Weeks after the due date: I WILL NOT ACCEPT PAPERS/PROJECTS AFTER THIS TIME

  6. Exams • I had some math issues on the Essay Rubrics… • Extra Credit… added to Reading scores (they had the lowest avg) • Questions about grades?

  7. HB Rubrics

  8. Feedback & FYI’s • Thank you for your honest feedback on the rubrics. • If you are having an issue or have a concern, or have suggestions for how I can better reach you or your peers, PLEASE LET ME KNOW by email, a quick chat, a note, WHATEVER. It makes me really sad to think any of you feel that you can’t talk to me. • My expectations are high because • (a) I care about you • (b) I want to do the best I can for you while you’re my student • If you didn’t know, my reasons for being a teacher: • I like my job, and I like Hartford, and I like Classical Magnet. • I hope to help make my community a better place, and I believe that a community will be improved through solid education. • I believe that having solid communication skills will take you everywhere. • Books and literature help us to examine who we are, and to help us to understand ourselves and the world better; writing about it is a way to grapple with those ideas.
