Reminders and notes from Tuesday's class

Hi everyone,

You will have tomorrow's class to prepare your Symbolic Story Representation presentation.

Being prepared will allow you to be more focused:
-gather potential supplies and reread the scene you want to present (must be from summer reading)
-BRING THE BOOK TO CLASS

If tomorrow is productive, you will get SOME of Thursday's class to work.



***A note on the blog:

I'm concerned that students are not taking advantage of the blog. I've noticed some students are not following assignment directions, or they are unaware when work is due. Also, I think we could get more done in class if students were to use the blog as a resource. I've found that some of your concerns or questions are often already answered within the blog.

 In the beginning of the year, I explained the importance of checking the blog every night. I believe that we can move towards being more independent in this regard.

IMPORTANT: I will be giving a "pop quiz" tomorrow, just one question. And if you're checking the blog, you will know what that question is:

                In Mr. Bodensteiner's ELA class, what is the blog? In general, what can you find on the blog?


Have a good night,

Mr. B.
