Navigating the course web site:
Please explore this section of our class website. This site in conjunction with daily use of Google Classroom is where you will find all pertinent information.
The Articles of the Week tab contains the list of weekly articles, while the assignments are located in Google Classroom. The Rhetoric tab gives information on how to read and think critically about the nonfiction articles we will be working with this semester. This is the How-To related to the articles of the week and beyond. The Professional Writing tab houses all the information required for college application, resumes, job application, and interest inventories. The Genius Hour tab contains all the information needed for the research creation project and steps for completion. Please check the appropriate area for the specific work.
This class has a routine of weekly assignment due dates. In addition, there are many overlapping experiences that apply to current or future learning. Organization and self discipline are key. It is important to use class time for classwork in order to remain current on all activities. All Articles of the Week and topic explorations will be discussed toward the end of the week. This class is built around the participation in class discussions and speech opportunities. In order to be successful, one must be fully engaged.
