2/27-2/3

On Monday and Tuesday, all classes will be in the lab working on their Greek God/Goddess project and the anthology project. I am revamping the critical analysis section, so everyone hold off on that until I show you how to do it. Wednesday-Monday, we will be presenting the projects. Please be in class, so that you get the information from each presentation. Good luck.

God/Goddess project

Students will create a "wanted" poster for one of the Greek Gods or Goddesses. Students will work in pairs for 1st white and 3rd blue and on their own in the rest of the classes to do this assignment. Groups will need a large sheet of poster board to make their "wanted" posters. Students will remember to include all of the following information:
Name of god/goddess
Roman name
Physical and emotional description of god/goddess
Milestones
Hardships or struggles
Major accomplishments.

Students will write an investigative report on your chosen God or Goddess. Students will need to present all of the information that is on the poster, written in paragraph form in their Investigative reports. Students will edit each other’s work. Students will give their report a title and type it according to regular classroom standards (proper grammar and spelling, double spaced, 12 point, Times New Roman font).
Students will present your project to the class. Students grade will be based on how well they present (eye contact, posture, whether you take this seriously or not, etc.). Students will need to have their "wanted" poster completed and in class on the day of their presentation. The entire project will be due this day. If a member of any group is absent (without good reason), s/he loses the points for the presentation and will receive a lowered grade on their portion of the assignment.

Assessment: The students will be responsible creating a "wanted" poster for one of the Greek Gods or Goddesses, writing an investigative report on your chosen God or Goddess, and presenting the project to the class in a small group

2/16-2/28

We are going to have a buzy week. I spent all day on Friday working out what everyone was missing. In class tuesday and wednesday, I will give you everything you are missing or failed and you have until the next class period to get it done. Then we will finish the notes on Myth and begin our myth god/goddess project. You will sign up for which god/goddess you would like to do. For 3rd Blue and 1st White, you will work in pairs. Thursday and Friday, Certain classes will hit the lab to work on the project and the anthology project. The other groups will begin reading a few greek myths and begin writing our own. Monday and Tuesday, anyone who did not go to the lab will go and will those who did will begin writing their myths and presentations.

2/12-2/16

Okay, here is the plan for next week.
Monday- 1st block will not be meeting in our classroom but the new room number is posted on the door. Hopefully, there is a dvd player in the room we are assigned.

We will be watching Romeo and Juliet. You will be required to find 30 differences between the new movie and the old movie.

Tuesday and Thursday- We will finish the movie and then begin our Myth notes and you will be given your assignments for the gods and goddess.

Friday and Monday- We will finish the notes and there will be a quiz over the notes.

Tuesday and Thursday will be a god and goddess matching quiz.
That is the plan for now. Hopefully nothing will get in the way.

2/6--2/12

Okay guys,
I'm taking a break from my homework to update this blogger, so it will be short.
Monday and Tuesday, we were suppose to be outside, but it will be too COLD, so we will be doing the review inside instead. We will review on Monday and TUesday (if you bring a notecard, you can work on filling it out and work on your essays for the test). You will have the test on wednesday and thursday. On friday and monday we will be watching R&J mondern version. Tuesday and Wednesday we will spend in the lab (hopefully), and start Mythology. You need to have your portfolio ready to turn in. Have a great week, Kimberly Guinn
