I am not teaching this class this school year.
Texts
Calendar
Many students are struggling to keep pace with a college preparation class, and we have not yet settled in to a schedule that I feel comfortable printing. Until then, the weekly plan is on the board, and students can copy it in to their planners.
Students will be provided with a calendar of classwork and homework by grading period when things settle. You can download a copy once it is ready.
Project: No project for the first grading period of 2012-2013!!! :)
A creative project that shows your understanding of the themes, issues, and/or lessons connected to the units we completed this grading period is due on the last day of each grading period. The possibilities are endless: You can do something standard, like a memory box for one of the characters or a cd. You can do a bake-a-cake book report. You can film a key scene or new ending. The choice is yours, so long as you do not repeat a project (or one of the same genre) over the course of the year.
The project should reflect about 4 hours of work, although this may vary greatly from person to person.
Unless your project is already a written one (new ending, poetry book, etc.) you should have a typed write-up. This write-up is your chance to defend your project, so the more you can say about it, the better off you will be.
You will likely not be able to defend it well in anything other than 200 words.
Here are some samples to get you thinking:
A project proposal is due no later than a week before the last day of the grading period. It must be signed by your parents before you bring it to your teacher. The signed proposal is part of the grade and must come in with the project.
