Monday, February 24, 2020
Brit Lit: We are writing an in-class timed write today. It’s argumentative in nature, with analysis. It’s due at the end of class. I’ve put up a GRADE RECOVERY activity in GOOGLE CLASSROOM. This assignment is due on March 4, and I will add points to existing graded assignments if you’ve demonstrated mastery of the standards. Look in GOOGLE CLASSROOM for directions and details.
YBK: Deadline today. We’re 5/6 complete. ONE MORE!
Friday, February 21, 2020
Brit Lit: EDIT: Because more than 50% of my classes were missing on Friday, I am moving the writing prompt to MONDAY. Please review the powerpoint in GOOGLE CLASSROOM and watch the 9-minute video on YouTube to review. ON MONDAY, We will write our timed essay over Wuthering Heights. You have 45 mins. It’s due at the end of class.
YBK: We have a deadline on Monday. We need 1 DPS to meet the quota.
Thursday, February 20, 2020
Brit Lit: We will finish watching Wuthering Heights. Tomorrow, we will write in class (hand written, timed write) on a topic about the film.
YBK: We need to finish up pages that are past deadline so we can submit.
Friday, February 14, 2020
Brit Lit: We will continue our trek into Wuthering Heights, making sure to pay close attention to elements of the film which support our premise that this work should be categorized as ROMANTIC literature. We’ll finish up the film next Thursday, and we will write the essay next Friday in class (timed write).
YBK:We will enjoy our NAP to celebrate our second-to-the-last deadline submission. Wahoo!
Thursday, February 13, 2020
Brit Lit: My classroom lights aren’t working consistently, so we’re going to watch Wuthering Heights, with the end result of an essay where you argue that the work should be considered ROMANTIC, based on the definition gone over during class lecture and study guides/reading. This essay will be due on Friday when we return from break.
YBK: We will be working on our deadlines today.
Wednesday, February 12, 2020
