So ... today and this week are "working on the Culminating Activity" times. I'm hoping that my students can take advantage of the links on the right hand of the screen to help with their respective CA's.

You can always work on the rough copies during the Break, as it is due just after we get back.

I hope everything is awesome!

Dec 14 update

I posted a few helpful links for the Senior English course I'm currently teaching today.

We also talked about / took up question 11 and 12 while in class today.

All good. Hope Tuesday is better than today ....

Dec 9 update

So today we talked a little bit about the Culminating for the course. I gave "use a blog" option my best effort to the class.

Again, if you want to use "dead tree things" to scratch your answers on to complete the CA, yes, I'll take it. I'll have to welcome you back to high school in 1985, too. Wasn't a bad year to go to high school, by the way....

We then clicked on the link for the film Fahrenheit 451and watched to about 16th minute of the film. We stopped and chatted a bit about what we were seeing, too.

Best Actor in a Supporting Role nominee right here.

Dec 8 update

Well, we read to page 50 and I handed out the Culminating Activity.

I;ll post more links and helpful stuff about how to do that Activity well on this blog over the next week or so.

In any case, I also thought to embed the film for the novel we are studying here, too:

Hope everything is awesome.

Dec 4 update

So we got reading today ... and we got to page 45.

It was nice to read on a Friday. Pleasant.

In any case, we got stuff done, and everyone went home happy and full of the spirit of the season.

Dec 2 update

So this week ... well, it's making it's way forward. Good enough for most people and it's good enough for me.

We got some reading done - we got to page 30 in the text ... which is a little behind where I wanted to be, to be frank. We'll make it up later. We also got questions 1-5 assigned and taken up in class so far.

If you are not there .. well, you need to catch up.

If you aren't coming to class, you need to be here.

Take me, take me!
