November 26, 2013

I was away at appointments for the day, but Mr. Genereux led the class for the day.  This is what it should have looked like:

Period 1—AP 30
These kids have lots of work they can be doing but I did forget to tell them to bring it.  They all have annotations they can be working on, Chaucer assignments that may not be done, essays that need finishing up, or a book they can be reading (either Night for the non-AP students or The Awakening for the AP students.

Period 2 & 3—ELA A 30
They can begin watching the documentary Over Canada.  Before the video, the students should do the pre-viewing questions on the handout and discuss.   This video is about 72 minutes long.  As they watch, they need to jot down five places they see on the video and explain why, as well they should pay attention to the soundtrack.  Once the documentary finishes, there are a few questions after it that they should do.  If they finish early, they should be reading The Secret Lives of Sgt. John Wilson!

Period 4—AP 10
They were given their essay topics yesterday, so they should get started today with their topics.  If they have questions, they should write them down to remember to ask me tomorrow, but they can ask some of their peers too.  They should use their “AP Resource Booklet” which should help.

Period 5—History 10
We don’t have access to the computer lab this class.  I’ve warned the kids to bring their cells to use as hot spots since we don’t need the network.  They can finish their Bit Strip but they shouldn’t spend too much time on it (really, not more than half the class).  They should be started onto Disclosure #3 which will take the rest of this class and next class to research.  Handout the Disclosure #3 sheet for them to get started on.
