Inferno and Beyond!

So...the Inferno project parts 1 & 2 is due TODAY at the end of the school day for all blocks. By the time you see this, hopefully you will have already turned it in to me. =)

The next thing due is Chapter 2 (School Bells) of the Senior Memory Book. (Monday for blocks 1, 3, 7, 8 and Tuesday for blocks 2 and 6). The following class day, you have a vocabulary quiz over the list labeled 10 & 11. The end of the week, we will again be in the computer lab; this time it's for the final EDP update.

Please note that the end of the first marking period is FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5. All missing tests or quizzes and absent work must be completed by that time in order to be considered part of the marking period grade. Check the whiteboard in my classroom for missing quizzes, and check the portal (or ask me!) for missing work.

Flash Cards

Many students have asked me for a good website to use for making flashcards for vocabulary words. Thank you Jessica Longoria for sharing this with me!

www.kitzkitz.com/flashcards/

It's a FREE site you can use for this class or any class. Just input your information and print. I hope you find it useful.

If you have any other good websites you use for studying, share them and I will post the information here for your classmates.

Taking us through to October 22 !!

The Inferno project was explained in class this week on Tuesday and Wednesday. Everyone should have selected a section to read and a partner (if desired). We have THREE consecutive days in the computer lab....So starting with Friday, October 15, find your next 3 classes and plan on being in the computer lab to work on Inferno "stuff" those days. We will have our vocabulary quiz over list 10 & 11 after work is completed, possibly the end of next week. Check the whiteboard for exact dates.

SENIOR MEMORY BOOK CHAPTER 2 is due on 10/25 for blocks 1, 3, 7, 8 and on 10/26 for blocks 2 & 6.

INFERNO PROJECT PARTS 1 & 2 due 10/21 for blocks 3 & 7 and on 10/22 for blocks 1, 2, 6, & 8.

If you have questions, be sure to ask! The end of the marking period is FAST approaching!!

Week of October 11-15

Monday and Tuesday ... Mrs. Wurm will be in our classes to continue with the EDP unit which began with the Alumni Fishbowl on Friday. In fact, I will be asking you for some feedback if you participated in the Fishbowl. I hope you found it helpful! On these two days, I will also go over the Inferno Project with any classes which have not yet received that information.

VOCAB QUIZ: Wednesday (for blocks 3 & 7) or Thursday (for blocks 1, 2, 6, & 8)

The end of the week, we will be in the computer lab to work on Inferno projects, and another SMB chapter will be assigned. I have enjoyed reading them this weekend, although I did take a break for some GREAT college football this weekend (GO GREEN!).

Have a great week!!
