Overview from 3/30 and Assignment due 4/6

We reviewed Again and Again and Tough Questions.

I checked that students showed up with TWO free entries from the two weeks we had without a class. Some students didn't have the required journals. This is inexcusable. YOU HAVE HOMEWORK EVERY WEEK.

For next week, you should have picked and started your third book, and you should have one free entry for that book.

Email me with questions.

Overview from 3/16 and Assignment(s) due 3/30

Today we learned Signpost 5: Again and Again. The notes are below:

Book 2 is supposed to be finished by the time we meet on 3/30. We do not have a class on 3/23, but students are supposed to be reading their book this week and having a journal entry for 3/23. Additionally, they should be reading the rest of the book the week of 3/25-3/30 and writing a final  journal entry for that book. I am hoping to see more signposts showing up in your journal entries.

In short, write a journal entry per week and finish you book.

Email me with questions.

Overview from 3/9 and Assignment due 3/16

Today we did some extra practice with the signpost we learned last week, and I checked in with each student on their journals and how many journal entries they are missing.  Students should have 7 free journal entries written since we started back to FAME in January, but several students are behind because they didn't do journals certain weeks:

Due next week: All students must continue reading this week, HOWEVER students do not need to write any entries unless they have some to make up. I spoke with each student about how many journal entries they were behind on, so each student knows whether they need to write any this week AND how many.

Today we learned Signpost #4 Tough Questions:

FOR NEXT WEEK:

• You must be well into your next book (it is supposed to be finished by March 30th (4 weeks away)
• You MUST have a started cover page...please see last week's blog entry for a review of the cover page AND the video that shows the journals if you need it.
• You MUST have a free entry. If you didn't have a free entry last week, you may want to consider writing TWO this week...or responding to six different elements of your book instead of just 3.
