Hamlet Refresher Quiz


Lesson Plan for Friday, December 13th

 Hey All...

So very sorry to be gone today again.  The Goob went to the Doc and it is Pre Pneumonia... no school for him again.  Please be the awesome people I know you are and use your time wisely to get work done.  I appreciate it more than you know.

And a new heads up… I have notified the Sub: I have quite a few students who are not on my attendance roster show up and sit in on my classes.  I explained yesterday, due to class sizes and some recent ‘disruptions’, I am only allowing students on the attendance roster in.  Please ask anyone who is not actually in my class to leave. If there is a problem, please try and get a name and I will deal with it when I get back.

First you can finish the movie in the DVD player.  Afterwards check out the assignment HERE.  I will cover all of the details with you Monday when I get back.

You have a LOT coming due next week.  As I did before, I would suggest the

following to work on today using the 5/20/5/20/5/20 method:
  • Inspiration Project (Due by 3 pm, Tuesday, December 17) 
  • GDrive Resume (Due by 3 pm, Tuesday, December 17)
  • Weebly Portfolio Resume Page (Due by 3 pm, Tuesday, December 17) 
  • Portfolio Home Page (Due by 3 pm, Wednesday, December 18)
  • Portfolio Link in Spreadsheet working (Due by 3 pm, Wednesday, December 18)
  • Portfolio Phase #1 Lesson in Moodle (Due by 3 pm, Thursday, December 19)

In a world of test scores, content standards & benchmarks, and evaluation fears, sometimes the main purpose can be pushed aside, even forgotten.  That is the kids.  Plain and simple they are the heart of what we do.  Let me be the reminder...
