Happy Diwali everyone! Due to the fact that today was a holiday, we took it pretty easy. Our main goal at this time is to construct our websites and focus on our assessments coming next week. Here is our to do list for the weekend and into next week.
1. To open the week you'll have your end of unit assessments. There is the mini-project (visual and essay) as well as your annotations of The Crucible and your timed essay. Keep in mind that the essay will be open book/open annotation. There are also vocabulary cards due.
2. Our website presentations will be run as a seminar. Be prepared to discuss your individual text as well as your group's argument. I'm looking forward to our symposium on social commentary. More details next week. Your websites will be assessed at the end of next week. This will give you time for further edits and revisions before they are assessed.
Keep in mind that we will begin our tardy policy next week. See the letter posted for more information. This quarter is where things are going to start getting real - it's time to start chipping away at things bit by bit instead of trying to do one big push.

Today's class was a very easy class due to the fact that we have a religious observance today - Happy Diwali! We reviewed the final project for this unit, completed our NRI diagnostic, and took time to complete our vocabulary documents and submit them.
As a reminder, the final project will be due the week we go out for Thanksgiving Break. I know this feels like a while away, but it'll be here pretty soon! Remember that there are three parts to this project - the album cover, track list, and then the paragraphs. We will have future time to work on this in class, but be sure to begin so that you can chip away at your assignments bit by bit.
