BONUS DAY (Period 1, 3, 5 ONLY) - 5 February 2020

Today's Goal: Catch Up, Get Ahead.

The Plan:
  1. Read
  2. The Choice to Do It Over Again by Daniel Flanagan
  3. Finalize your Writing
  4. Practice Reading Aloud to others
  5. No Red Ink/Typing/Other Make-Up Work

Reminders/Homework:
  • READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Work on your essay.
  • Finish reading aloud to others and getting signatures; bring back your signed paper to turn in.
  • No Red Ink "SWABIs" 
    • Due Friday 4pm
    • You will not have access if you didn't do the diagnostic, and I still won't accept late assignments for full credit anymore, so I suggest you get the diagnostic done so you don't dig yourself a deeper hole.

Finalize Your Writing
Today you are very lucky to get some extra writing time to revise/edit/make your essay the best you can before I score it. Use it. Ms. Black will meet with people she hasn't gotten to meet with yet during this time.


Practice Reading Aloud
You will get a small sheet of paper that looks like this. You must read your essay, out loud, to at least three people and get their signatures.

One person can be an adult at home or another teacher, but two must be peers.

 Do not do this step if you have not finalized your essay, although if you read to someone and they have a suggestion, make sure to listen in case it is helpful.

Other Work To Do
Here are your options if everything else is done:
  • No Red Ink.
  • Reading.
  • Revising the writing stations if you didn't do them or want to improve your score..
  • Reading.
  • Continuing to revise your essay.
  • Also Reading.
  • You could make up the No Red Ink Quiz #2 if you need to (or retake it if you ask Ms. Black.)
You are not permitted to do typing.com. We are done with typing.com in this class. If you need to make that up, do it on your own time.
