Title Page:

Information should include: Student’s name, Teacher’s name, Course name, Semester and Year. Creativity and color should be included. Class time and computers will be offered, or may be completed at home. May be done by hand or computer-generated.


Section 1: Daily Writing

The first thing you do every day, I have the prompts listed on the blog.

Format: Effective November 2, 2009 all responses to the daily writing must be posted to the homework drop box in your gaggle.net account. If you have questions or concerns about your gaggle.net account please ask a teacher, Mrs. Cahoon in the library, or Coach Dodd in the Interactive Classroom.


Section 2: Newspapers in Education (NIE)

This is your Friday writing assignment each week. You are to first read the newspaper, then select an article. Articles that relate to our curriculum in some way should be chosen first, if there is not one that week, select the most interesting article in that week's paper. Write the title of the article and the date. Summarize the article in your own words. The next paragraph should tell your opinion or reaction to the article. As before, use the same paper until it is full, then continue with another sheet.


Section 3: Classwork

When I return it to you, place it in chronological order from first until last. If it is in your notebook, if there is ever a mix-up with grades you will have it.


Section 4: Projects

All projects are designed to fit in your notebook. After I return it to you, place it in this section in order from first to last. It is also a safe place to keep projects in progress.


Section 5: Vocats Testing

All classroom testing will be done online at www.quia.com. You will be given your username and password and you must log in each time you take a test. You are given unlimited attempts for each test and I will record the best grade. Time will be given for testing weekly during class, or you may log in and take your tests from home or any computer with internet access.
