THURSDAY, May 1

1, 3,6 American Lit –

1. Students are not in a seating chart due to me having to move the room around because of testing. If I have time, I will include a seating chart, if not, let them sit where they want BUT after one warning MOVE a student permanently and make a note of it for me. Tell them if you have to move them, then they will be getting a public detention from me as soon as I get back.

 

1. Have them clear their desks completely. No water, nothing, should be on their desks.
2. Once everyone has, pass out the Great Gatsby Vocabulary Test #2 and the scantrons.
3. Have them write their Name, Period, GG Vocab Test #2, and the test # in the subject line.
4. Remind everyone to COVER each answer on their scantron as they take it.
5. Please walk around and remind them to cover their answers constantly. Your presence and reminders will prevent cheating.
6. They are to raise their hand when they are done and you are to collect them, paper clip the scantrons from 1. 3.6 together and put them in the folder marked GG Vocab Test 2.
7. As soon as you’ve collected their test, they are to sit quietly and read the Great Gatsby. They have their own copies. Do not lend any out. If they don’t have it, have them get the teal grammar book and complete work from pages 45-55 all exercises and turn that in. If they don’t, then make a note of it.  Tell them they are getting 100 participating points today for reading chapter 5. Only mark the kids that are not reading or don’t have their books for me, please

 

 

2,4 –  1. Students are to get the Bell Jarout and read the foreward in the book. They are to take a minimum of five annotations while they are reading – questions, insightful commentary, etc.

2. Then, they are to:

Friday, May 2

 

 

1, 3.6

1. Please distribute GG Questions Ch. 1-5. Students may help each other with these. They cannot write their answers on the handout. You have a class set of questions. Because of this, they need to write down each question and then answer it. This will take the majority of the period.

 

2. After they are done, they need to read Chapter 6. If they need all period, that is fine, but Chapter 6 is homework. Tell them to be prepared for a pop reading quiz on Chapters 4-6 on Monday.

 

Hope you have a great day! Please leave me notes on each class. Some of my students are a bit rambunctious – so please don’t put up with any disrespect. I find that the best way to prevent issues is to circulate around the room frequently checking work, and letting them know that you won’t put up with any nonsense, and that you expect them to work.
