Scrapbooks and Holiday Wishes

I'm very proud of the work everyone did in the gallery walk yesterday. I'm glad that viewing other people's work helped you realize that still more could be done on your own.

Please make sure to bring them back to school no later than the Friday we return (1/4).

Enjoy your holidays. Rest and have fun. When we return we will have a really busy first 2 weeks back... ELA tests are on the horizon (1/15-1/16)...

We will be doing a little bit of curriculum work and then a week of test sophistication.

all smiles,
Ms. S

For Wednesday

Scrapbooks are due -
make sure you have a reflection/statement of process
all questions are answered through your work
a work cited is present
**** NO WORK CITED AND YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL

We will have an open-book essay tomorrow in class based on the early settlement presentations. You will be working alone.

Reminders

Tomorrow is group project day.... be prepared to perform. Make sure your group turns in:
- a typed script with everyone's name on it
- a works cited or bibliography (properly formatted)
- a reflection from each member of the group that addresses their own honest evaluation as well as an evaluation of the group as a whole
- a copy of the rubric given out in class.

Wednesday is scrapbook day - on Tuesday we will be going over final editing techniques... things to look for, so please make sure that you bring your scrapbooks to class on Tuesday... you will have an opportunity to work with a partner to clean up last minute mistakes.

If you know you will be leaving on vacation for the holiday before Wednesday, please make sure you turn in all work before you leave.

Thanks,
Ms. S

Holiday Work

Please read an independent reading book and do another book talk write up.

I will also be givnig out a test prep packet... one that lets you identify with what is on the test. You will need to complete this packet.

Have a great holiday.

Ms. S

Weekend homework and reminders

Your group script projects are due on Monday. Make sure you have a typed script to turn in as well as a works cited page.

Your independent colony scrapbooks are due on Wednesday. Please bring in work for final edits on Tuesday.

Reminders:

Everyone needs to write reflections - one that assesses the work you contributed and one that talks about the group as a whole. Follow the rubric and guiding questions.

Everyone must have a bibliography/works cited page in both projects... without one you WILL FAIL. I won't even read a project that isn't properly cited.

Understanding Teacherease

Good day everyone,

I need to put this out there for parents and students... Teacherease assigns letter grades with the numbers I input... please don't go by teacherease's letters as they aren't accurate.

Please see below for a list of what the numbers mean based on the standards. You can see what you got looking assignment by assignment NOT at the overall grade.

4= exceeds standards - A
3= meets the standards - B
2= approaches the standards - C
1= needs improvement -D
0= incomplete or never turned in - F

I hope this clears up any misconception.

Ms. Sackstein

Midway point

Group projects are due on Monday, 12/17

Independent Scrapbooks are due on Wed. 12/19

Bring Sources to class

Please bring your sources to class to work on both group and independent projects for Monday-Friday next week.

Thanks,
Ms. S

Homework for the next few days

Although there hasn't been new homework posted each day in class, I would strongly encourage each of you to continue moving forward on both your group and independent projects.

You should be gathering resources whether they be internet sites (print copies of the articles and primary sources) or books from the library. Make sure you are keeping a record of all the sources you use so that your bibliography will be accurate.

You should bring your research to class with you in case there is time to do work as a group or independently.

Reminder that by Monday your group needs to have a plan ready to discuss with me at conference.

Tuesday bring all sources to class as we will be starting in class work on independent projects.

Have a great night. Stay warm.

Ms. S
