End of Trimester One Work schedule - no stations this week.

This week we are wrapping up a couple of different running assignments in class, and trying to guarantee that all students get this week to turn in any late or missing assignments and resolve questions that may occur with their individual assignments grades for this trimester.

As such, several students have found missing assignments that they completed in their binders, and have turned them in. Likewise several students have presented grade sheets and graded work that may have been recorded incorrectly in the grade book. Students have followed the procedures to fix grades, grade sheet in hand with the necessary evidence - the assignment in question to solve questions about their grade.

Here is the work schedule for the upcoming two weeks:
Nov 16 - 21 - Gladiator Roman Quiz Test Preparation
Nov 16 - Gladiator Study Teams formed
Nov 17 - Library 2/4 period
Nov 18 - Last Day to turn in ANY late work by 3:05 (given personally to Mr. Rodgers only)
Nov 18 - StarGirl Quiz Ch 15 - 26 - 20 pt
Nov 18 - Theater Lesson Periods 2/3
Nov 21 - StarGirl 16 panel comic sketch due - 10 pt
Nov 22 - Roman Quiz #2 - 30 pt
Nov 30 - StarGirl 16 panel comic final draft due - 30 pt
Dec 2 - StarGirl Book Test
Dec 7 - Roman Unit Test (Chapter 1, 2, 6 and notes) 40 pt

Stations will resume next week.

Station Sheet - Week ending on Monday 11/14

The Journal was due on Th 11/10. All students shared a selected "headline" from their journal entry in class. We will use student headlines as randomly assigned writing prompts in the near future.

Station Sheet Handout

All other station work is due on Monday. 

1. Spelling Contract Unit 5, with test; 

2. 10 Roman Event summaries (3 bullet points each event) with a 3 reference bibliography (two books minimum). Students were given over 45 minutes to share up to six events (i.e. one event by each student in each group equals 5 events, to start) in class this past week. 

3. Movie Poster was turned in on Wednesday 11/9 - based on the first outside reading novel this trimester.

Also, Thursday's journal assignment was the last assignment recorded for the first trimester, which officially ends on 11/18. This coming week, students will have the entire week to turn in any missing work, identify no named assignments, find complete and incomplete work in their binders and make corrections to any grades entered incorrectly.

All new work turned in this coming week counts towards second trimester grades.
