Monday, October 25 (E9)

Today's Objective: Students will continue pre-writing their Q1 final projects


Today's SAT Word: Tandem (n.): Pair

When doing our peer reviews of our first essays, we worked in tandems.


Today's Soundtrack: "Lean On Me" by Bill Withers

We have chosen this song today because it encourages people to lean on one another and to depend on eachother during the hard times. Starting with our next class, we will be peer editing one another's papers -- and so we will need to learn how to lean on one another in order to help our classmates!


Today's Warm-Up Question:

Today is ALTER-EGO day! Today’s the day we all get to pretend to be somebody else.

If you’re in costume:
What is YOUR alter-ego? And what made you choose that alter-ego?

If you’re not in costume:
What made you decide not to come in costume today?

Tonight's Homework:


Continue working on your Q1 final compositions. Remember:
  • Completed compositions must be submitted BOTH by printed hard copy and by e-mail to john.meehan@pgcps.org no later than FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29 at 5 p.m.

  • YOU MUST submit your composition BOTH as a hard copy AND as an e-mail by the assigned due date. Failure to submit EITHER one or the other will result in an automatic 50% ("E") grade for the project.

  • This project will count for roughly 25% of your overall assessment grade for the marking period.

  • There will be no extensions given on this project.
