Thursday and Friday Dec 20

Worked on the presentations and the CA.

Also showed off updated marks for a few students.

All good.

Merry Christmas!

Tuesday and Wednesday Dec 18

I was off yesterday, hacking up a lung. I've got the dry lung searing cough that is going around.

Tuesday and Wednesday I gave students a chance to get their CA's complete and to see the mark they have right now during one on one conferences on Wednesday.

Ok. I will get through today.

What not to do ... 

Mon Dec 16

We are trying, Ringo. We are trying real hard to be the Shepard.

We are working on our presentations and All About Me Unit things to hand in. At least that is what I'm hoping we can do by the end of the period.

We are so close to Christmas .... they even played a semi happy song on the announcements this monring! ;)

Anyway, we are hard at work together.

Fri Dec 13

Hey there, here is the link to the Bus Survey.

All the cool kids have filled it out. Go ahead. Be a cool kid.

We are also working on:

Final part of the CA
AAM Unit - Task 1 or Task 2, Task 3 or Task 4

Just do the Tasks. Thankyouverymuch.

Thursday Dec 12

Last day for CA - also a Mass Day. Schedule above.

If you are done, work on the All About Me Unit material ... it's all good. Or your CA Presentation due next week.

You got this.

The reward for getting the CA Writing part done

Tuesday and Wed Dec 11

Tuesday we put some "Writing folders" together for Wednesday.

Some were not though .... ;(

Wednesday is day one of the in-class writing part of the Culminating is today.

We are working hard together.

Monday Dec 9

We tried this today. Nope.

We should have been able to co-created this list of topics on the Theory of Internet Usage together. Instead, I had to forgo that and use the notes from the discussion to tell students what to write about for Task 4 for the AAM Unit.

The note: Here it is.

Fri Dec 6

A good final day in the library on our Culminating Activities as a group. I conferenced with everyone in the class who was present either today or yesterday. Thanks for that.

I am worried about a few of you ... y'all need to keep editing your document so that it is your best work. If you need help, ASK!

Seriously, ask. Email me at the email address that we've been using all semester. Seriously.

Have a great weekend!

Almost. Alllllllmost.

Thursday Dec 5

We were in the library today, working on draft versions of our CA Pieces of Writing.

It was .... epic.

I'm glad we are getting this done in a realively decent pace. Good on ya.

Period 4 I did shatter the silence of the library with a great Chewbacca imitation. I did tell the librarian I would publicly shame myself and here it is.

Wed Dec 4

Today we worked on our draft versions of our CA essays and the final part of the All About Me Unit

I was able to conference with a few students who knew they were going to be away Thursday and Friday this week. I see this as a step in the right direction - good work!

Here is an example I've what I'm hoping to see tomorrow from students for the CA Conferences in the library:

Ok, have a great one!

Tues Dec 3

TDo this and be a

I've said it often and I'll say it again today. Being done is being an adult.

This is a rather poor draft version, but it's done.

Being done is being an adult.

I'm done for the interview/conference on Thursday or Friday.

Be an adult.

And now ... on to the All About Me Unit, too.

Monday Dec 2

Yesterday and today we worked basically on whatever we needed to get done.

The All About me Unit is coming along nicely. We now have a bunch of College Calendars in the portable for stuents to have in their hands and learn to use.

We also have almost everyone in this period having an edited "About" paragraph done and ready to post online for employers to see and search out. The next step is to begin an online portfolio for both this assignment and for future employment.

Finally, we also took a long minutes to work on the thesis and first paragraph of the piece of writing for the Culminating Activity for this course. We wll continue this work tomorrow and onwards.

I call this picture "Being done is being adult."
