(add it to your
favorites/bookmarks etc. on your phone/computer)
Speaking of phones...here is the phone policy for our course.
Prd 6 12:29-1:17
Prd 7 1:23-2:11
- No headphones.
- All phones must be placed on the desk to the immediate right of your keyboards. Please don't make me remind you each day! From now on, we will keep cellphones on the right hand corner of your desk whether in the classroom or a computer lab. That way, you will have them ready if we need them for a class activity, but this will hopefully minimize texting and other distractions during class.
Goals for Today
1) Sign up for turnitin.com
2) Due by the end of class (5 points for satisfactory effort): Write a thoughtful and thorough introduction letter (print two copies - one for you to keep and one to hand in to me - and submit a digital copy to turnitin.com) - 5 points for satisfactory completion. Make sure it has a complete LT Heading.
LT Heading
(your name)
(teacher’s name)
(class name and period)
(date)
3) Add this blog to your favorites/bookmarks on your phone and computer
https://wesleyworldperspectives.blogspot.com/
4) Homework: Due tomorrow - 5 points (no late papers accepted) Unless you’ve been living in a bubble, you know there was an eclipse yesterday. This got a lot of people thinking about space and intelligent life beyond our sweet old Earth. Soooooo....
Paragraph 1: If you were going to launch a small capsule into space to give possible intelligent, alien life a sense of American life and culture, what would you include? Write a well-developed paragraph that provides at least five reflections/information that you think would be essential for understanding American life and culture.
Paragraph 2: What about life on Earth as a whole (not just the US)? What would you tell them to give them a sense about human life and culture outside of America? What do they need to know? Write a well-developed paragraph addressing the must-knows about human life and culture on Earth in general (beyond America).
This is due tomorrow (no late papers accepted) - 5 points. Make sure it has a full LT heading.
Print a copy and bring it to class for tomorrow.
