SUB PLANS FOR FRIDAY MAY 12

SUB PLANS

JARED GOLDSMITH

MAY 12, 2017

Good morning. I have told all of my classes what the assignment would be when I was out, so this should be familiar to them. Additionally, I have posted this lesson plan on my class blog at www.goldsmithenglish.blogspot.com. Thanks!

BLOCK 1: ENGLISH 12-A small, great group of kids. Please have them get one of the “Latin and Greek Root Vocab” books (on the metal shelf by the green grammar books). Please instruct them to work on the “Unit Ten” words on beginning on page 60. They should become acquainted with the words and then write each one in an original sentence. In addition, they should do exercises 1, 2, and 3 on pages 62, 63, and 64. Please remind them NOT to write in the books-they should do all this work on a separate sheet of paper. Please do not collect it...I will collect it from them on Tuesday. When they are done, they may work on other work, read, work on Chromebooks, etc.

BLOCK 2: STUDY HALL-You are in the commons for this study hall....they are a great group of kids as well! Usually, some of the girls ask to go grab a Chromebook from the library...this is fine. Usually Nate goes to the library and usually Gabe goes to Mrs Houston's room (usually...they may not). At any rate, they should check in with you before they leave. Additionally, Samantha Decker usually checks in and goes to the art room. Just make sure the kids check in with you first.

FOCUS TIME: Most of the homeroom kids will come back for this 25 minute time...they will work on homework, etc...

BLOCK 3 (you eat first lunch)

CREATIVE WRITING-These folks were told to continue working on their “elaborative detail stories” that we have been talking about. Please inform them that I would like them to pass something into me on Tuesday. Usually, on Fridays, I let the creative writing class work on things that “enhance” their creative energy like reading, writing, etc. Kids will most likely be on Chromebooks working. Some kids may be done with their stories, and if they want to work on other work that is fine. It is totally fine if some of them go sit in the hallway outside my room—a few of them often do that, and they work quietly.

BLOCK 4: COLLEGE PREP 12-A great group of seniors who are all terrific people....but who are totally tired of being in school! I have talked to them in advance about me being out. Please have them follow Block 1's plan with the vocabulary work, etc. Please be sure to only allow one student at a time to leave for bathroom, locker, etc. Like I said, they are a great group of kids, and I am really counting on them to show some leadership.

Thanks for your help today! If there are any problems, please see Ellen Pinkham (outside my door, diagonally left across the hall) as she is our dept. head. I hope you have an enjoyable day!
