AND...HOUSEKEEPING DUTIES! EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
On the review day prior to your final, you will be working with your portfolios and readying them for transfer to English II. I have all of your archived essays ready to go for next week, but I need you to add the feedback from TurnItIn.com so you can have a complete folder.
THIS IS FOR A GRADE. This is for the purposes of being organized and having lots of good stuff to show to your grandchildren when you're old and gray. You receive your portfolios upon graduation, and you need to archive all of your writing until that happens in three years. Here's what I need...
1. Go to TurnItIn.com
2. Print out your essays, with grades, for every essay you have turned in this year. There should be an option to print out commentary and rubric grades. Print it.
3. Staple them all together and bring them to class ON THE DAY OF YOUR FINAL.
4. Bring your lit term journals. THEY WILL NOT BE CHECKED FOR CONTENT; I just need to archive them so they go to the next level. Bring this to class, with your TurnItIn.com documentation ON THE DAY OF YOUR FINAL.
5. TurnItIn.com sheets + Lit Term Journal = 100 in gradebook for a daily grade.
6. Print out your review for the spring semester exam.
7. Be ready for possible Jeopardy reviews prior to the final. I have to review for an hour, so there's no reason why anyone is failing this already incredibly easy test.
8. Brace yourself for this: As of noon on Thursday, your summer vacation begins, but don't forget to go buy your pool reading (aka Lord of the Flies and How To Read Literature Like A Professor). I'll set up Barnes and Noble meet-up days so you can come get help on occasion. (no, please, no...don't all rush at once...)
9. If you want to help me pack up my room for YES hours next week, let me know when you are available. I will take volunteers on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and possibly Thursday. Large crowds incur possibility of snacks and drinks. Remember=teacher salary...you ain't gettin' sushi.
10. PS: So impressed with your TKAM capstone projects. You guys NAILED it. Very happy teacher on this end of the internet line.
ALRIGHT! Let's finish this semester and go dive in the pool!
Toodles,
Ms. B
