April 29th Daily Plan

9th Grade - Freshmen had a three-part lesson today. The first part involved a quiz over stage directions, reviewing from our lesson on this topic last week. Basically, for this quiz I gave students a blank image of a stage with some directions written, and students had to track where the actor would shift throughout the scene.

Students then had about 20-25 minutes for S.S.R. As I've explained to all classes before, the goal with S.S.R. is that students are reading something that they actively enjoy and want to be reading. If students do not enjoy the book they have chosen, they should be looking for new books and have something they DO enjoy to bring in to class. Students only receive credit for S.S.R. if -

1) They are reading what they have told me they are reading (i.e. no pulling books off my back shelf, this does not count), and
2) They spend the full amount of time reading.

10th Grade - Sophomores had a slightly modified class again, to account for the assembly yesterday around the Wyoming Supreme Court. This means that classes that did not meet yesterday were in the library today to complete the Design a Class Project.

The other two classes had their days divided between S.S.R. (see explanation for S.S.R. credit above), and a short video that highlighted similar topics to what we have discussed revolving designing classes.

Late Work for Sophomores -

• Several students are still missing two major assignments from the past two weeks.
• "Dissecting an Ad" Project - last day to turn in will be Monday, 5/2.
• "Design a Class Project" - last day to turn in will be next Friday, 5/7.

Be aware that each additional day late subtracts 10% from the total score.
