All assignments are listed in PJ's Google Classroom under the "Classwork" option. Here is the video I created for you in case you are still confused about how to manuever through Google Classroom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpYrAARlig8
Here is a quick list of the assignments that are now due. For specific directions, please go to the Google Classroom.
Quick Reading Inventory--5 points--originally due 4/17
Your assignment during the original COVID closure was to read 20 minutes each day.
Tell me what you have been reading during this time please. (I'm just
looking for a short response--a bulleted list of titles is fine). This can simply be emailed to me.
"Invictus" Assignment--10 points--originally due 4/23
Students read the poem "Invictus" and wrote about the theme and poetic devices (assignment on Google Classroom)
Reading/Quarantine Journal--20 points--originally due 4/14
Students
were to write each day on the original quarantine period (March
18-April 14), either writing a response about what they read or how
they are feeling about the pandemic situation. For an A+, students need
at least 10 thoughtful, thorough responses (each about a paragraph
long).
Daily Language Practice 4/27, 4/28, 4/29, 4/30--5 points each
These
are very short and quick assignments, also found on Google Classroom.
Students get 5 points just for completing the assignment. (Writing
"IDK" is not completing the assignment, by the way.) These daily
language practices help review important language arts standards.
Advice to the World essay--25 points--originally due 4/17
In a separate Google Document (NOT IN THE COMMENTS BELOW), write a
5-paragraph essay that gives advice to others. Think of something that
is important to you that you wish others would know. Maybe you think
people should always work hard, or maybe you think they should have fun
more often. Or maybe you think there should be a balance.
Or maybe you have advice about something more complex, like social
justice issues--poverty, racism, rape culture, child abuse, mental
health, environmental concerns, educational system, etc.
Or maybe you want to give an uplifting message about staying strong when
struggles happen. You decide the topic.
So... you can put questions in the comment box below, but DO NOT type
your essay there. Open up a new Google Document for that.
Creative Story--12 points--due Friday, May 1
This assignment is listed in Google Classroom. Students had to watch a video and then write a story from the perspective of an ordinary household item.
