Good Morning and Happy Thursday! Today we have a block day!! The theme of today's block day is JUST DO IT!!
On Tuesday we watched a great TedX talk by Andrew Williams. We ran out of time near the end of class but I really wanted to get your opinion on the video. What was your reaction to this video? When you reflect back on watching the video what does it make you think about the various opportunities available to you right now and what is the importance of you taking advantage of them?
Today is a work day for you. For my class and for your other courses! Here's the deal:
- You need to make sure you have completed all assignments for my class. The good news is that some of you are smooth sailing with REALLY HIGH A's! Others of you are a little behind! You absolutely must turn in any missing or late assignment by the end of class today. After today we are moving on and I will not accept them.
- To receive credit for an assignment you must complete it and email it to me at crubin@seq.org!
- If you complete your edutyping through lesson 22.2 you must email me and confirm what lesson you completed.
- The one thing I will not accept is people making up missed blog posts. Only if it says missing will I accept your link so I can get a grade in the gradebook!
- You need to confirm you are ROCKING your other classes! Check Schoolloop, check your planner, check your brain - what can you be doing in your other classes to ensure you are getting the highest grade possible!!
The bottom line is I typically hear from your other teachers that the reason you are not doing well is you are missing work...the same is true for my class. It's why I believe high school is all about building responsibility. It's also why the UC's and CSU's give you a break and don't look at your grades during your Freshman year - they give you a chance to get adjusted ... BUT YOU'RE SOPHOMORES NOW - NO EXCUSES - JUST DO IT!
