Check out my last post to see some student Flocabs. They really did a great job and I am so proud of each of them for pushing themselves out of their comfort zones!
Today was really a catch up/catch our breath sort of day. I returned lots of papers and students got online to get five week grades. Some minor adjustments were made where necessary. Students in periods 2, 7, and 8 were presented the opportunity to locate lost reading logs and turn them in by tomorrow for some credit and the opportunity to rewrite an essay on the short stories (rewrites due Friday).
All students have the assignment of locating an IR book to read next. We will not begin reading the books until the Monday after break but students do need to come to class on Monday the 20th of December with two titles (and author's names) that might work. The trick to this IR book choice is that the connections topic they chose at the beginning of the year has to be the backdrop of the IR book they choose. I have encouraged anyone struggling with finding a title or two to come see me, the librarian or get online!
