About me slide

Over the last three days, you have been reviewing some grammar exercises and responding to writing prompts. At this point, you should have submitted three handouts and written three prompts. Please be mindful that next week these will be graded.

 These next two days you will be working on your “about me” slide.

Rather than writing, you will create a slide image that reflects your vision of yourself. These may be literal or metaphorical.

           

Assignment: 1. create a single slide. 

 Read the following directions carefully.  

                                  

                                 2. In bold letters in a color of your choice (never a white background on a slide!), place your first name as you like to be called and your surname (last name) at the top of the slide. (Insert an emoji, if you wish)

                       3. create a grid of six images, labelling them as follows: 

1. Happy place (insert a setting image), 2. music (insert image of an instrument, group, individual, style you enjoy), 3. selfie or picture that includes you (you with family, friend, pet), 4.  4 words: take the first letter of your first and last name and write two positive adjectives that describe you. 5. two items you enjoy eating 6) an image of somewhere you would very much like to visit.

 

Due to me by 6 pm Sunday, September 19 for full credit. Please share to my school e-mail as an attachment. dorothy.parker@rcsdk12.org

Work received after that time is worth 75 points.

Thursday, September 9.

That we are all back in school is to be celebrated.  Now comes the learning adventure.

At this point in time, there is no google classroom set up for English 2, as there was a very recent teacher change.

That does not mean you will be missing out on any part of your academics this year. In contrast, we will simply adjust by using this blog. 

IN CLASS:  Periods 1/2/5: using a class blog.

                           Periods 1: filling in goal on the star for the hallway / completing contact information sheet. This will be collected at the beginning of class tomorrow.

                            Periods 2/5: completing contact sheet information

How does the blog work?

Simple!

I am handing out to you a paper with the following:

sotaenglishhonors10.blogspot.com

Open up you laptop and type in the above.

You should now be looking at the class blog.

Everyday you will find the material that is covered in class and any assignments. This is similar to google classroom, but as I stated there is as yet not one set up for us.

Like google classroom, you can access all of our work at anytime from any computer. Everything is listed in chronological order.

What about written work? Or any handouts? There will be copies of everything we cover here, including any classwork, links to readings and clips. There is a simple copy and process that I will explain to you, when needed. 

What if I am absent? Not a problem. Go to the blog and see what you missed. There is never a need to ask what you missed. You have it with you. If you have a SPECIFIC question, ask away. But I will always expect you to have checked the blog first.

COMING UP: For Friday, September 10

                        Turn in your completed contact information sheet.

(If time, quick game)
