6th Term Blueprint

Dear students,

The end of the year will be upon us before we know it. This post will be a general guide to help you navigate what is coming.

We have, including this upcoming week of May 16 – 20 (week 14) SIX weeks before the end. I will be leaving a bit early for a trip to Italy, so we must wrap things up before then.

1       Week 14 (May 16 – 20) read first quarter of your book

2       Week 15 (May 23 – 27) quiz on first quarter, read second quarter, autobiographical writing, part one

3       Week 16 (May 30 – June 3) quiz on second quarter, read third quarter, autobiographical writing, part two

4       Week 17 (June 7 – June 10) (Monday June 6^th is off for Dragon Boat festival) quiz on third quarter, read 4^th quarter, autobiographical writing, first draft

5       Week 18 (June 13 – June 17) quiz on 4^th quarter, hand in autobiographical writing final draft

6       Week 19 (June 20 – June 22) (I leave Thursday June 23^rd) Final exam on book (formal assessment)

You can expect to address all of the standards shown in our course syllabus. Notice that in addition to writing an autobiographical narrative, you will be speaking about it. We will also have a homework assignment on writing a business letter. Otherwise, I feel homework will be limited to answering questions about the assigned reading, with possibly an article reaction put in there, and one or two graded blog assignments in which your reflections and comments will be considered.

PLEASE NOTE, that at this point, some students have not turned in all of the work for the second marking period (5^th term) and must do so by 10 P.M. Tuesday night or risk getting a zero for that assignment. I will attempt to email students to let them know if I feel they have something missing Sunday night (today).

Regards,

Mr. Catlin
