Today, students accomplished the following objectives:
- They found their new seats for Q1 (after attendance. Spoiler alert: it's alphabetical order. It helps me learn names.)
- Students took their first Summer Reading Assessment, over both Speak and Enrique's Journey.
- If you missed this, see me to make it up ASAP!
- Freshmen, both familiar to MLK and new-to-the-school, got a brief meet-n-greet window of time in which to "break the ice."
- "Break the ice" is an idiom. Literally, there was no ice that was broken. They just talked to each other and introduced each other to each other.
- Idiom is a Literature Term. BOOM! Learning.
While students took the SRA, I tried to learn everyone's names. We'll see how well that went on Monday. (Right, Fernando?)
HW for the Weekend:
- Bring in a current-event piece of media that concerns itself with the main topic of Enrique's Journey: children immigrating to the U.S.
- By "current" I mean that this piece of media must have been published in 2014.
- By "piece of media", I of course mean news articles. But I also mean interviews, TV specials, propaganda, songs, editorials, YouTube clips...pretty much any media.
- How to submit:
- Print it and bring it to class!
- Save it on to a thumb drive and bring it in!
- E-mail me a link! (Include your full name and class period, plz.)
- Questions about the assignment? E-mail me, or ask it here by posting a response to this post.
- Don't forget about your First Day packets! They're due BY Tuesday, 8/12.
- If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. Finish your Summer Reading.
- Get an agenda/assignment book. Srsly.
- If you haven't yet -- e-mail me.
"But Tidymaaaaan, I can't do these things! I'm going to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 'cause it opens tonight!!"
Good. Fine. Go see it. But before you do: #getonmylevel.
See y'all Lunes.
