I have received some instructions from my boss to change a few things about my teaching. This will, of course, affect you as well. Here are the specifics:
1. I must add more oral discussions. We'll do more of that roundtable type thing we did in early February.
2. Tell you in advance about what we are going to be doing:
--in March 3rd, 5th and 6th periods will read The Odyssey in the blue book. This means everyone must take their blue book home and bring it to school each day. I will post a schedule in room 151 when we return from President's Week. 4th period will read another novel while the other classes do The Odyssey. I'm debating between two or three books.
--in late March or early April we will start Romeo and Juliet.
--in April we will have STAR testing which will take up more than half our school day.
3. Give you firm deadlines for assignments. That means I must establish a firm time when your Station to Station and Research Projects are due. I hereby declare that I will not accept either of these assignments after 4pm on Wednesday, March 2nd.
To give you some idea where you stand I'm gradually putting in partial grades for the Research Project based upon where you are in the process.
