Assignments for Monday, 11/22/2010

I'm back!  However, I am honestly pretty frustrated.  After reading the notes from Ms. Gordon, speaking with Ms.Raquel, and looking over the assignment submissions, it seems that many of you were not productive last week.  I dislike hearing that students chose to use the laptops to complete work for other classes instead of completing my assignments and were just off-task in general.

Now, many of you are significantly behind on the essay.  But, I am not going to make anymore accommodations due to students' overall lack of effort in and out of class over the past week.  I am sticking with this week's plans.  Today's classwork is to begin working on an interactive First Thanksgiving activity.  This lesson will begin today and conclude tomorrow.  But, everyone who is behind on the essay will spend class time working on the paper with adult support; these students will need to complete the Thanksgiving lesson on their own time.

The theme comparison essay and Thanksgiving lesson are both due at Midnight on Tuesday!
