Sub Plans for Jared
Goldsmith
Monday February 2,
2015
BLOCK 1: Study Hall.
In my room. These kids know the drill. They are to work quietly. They
need to take the pass/sign out if they are going anywhere. The signet
list is on the clipboard on top of the file cabinet at the front of
my room. Please note per the sub folder that these students leave at
about 830 for the Tech Center. At this time, you go down to room 308
(go past the auditorium...it is the room on your right before the art
room) to cover for Mark Cooper's Academic Support Lab. You stay there
until the end of the period to cover for him.
BLOCK 2: College
Prep English 12. This class is finishing up HAMLET and please tell
them that I will be showing them acts 4 and 5 of the film starting
Wednesday. For today, I would like them to work on an essay I told
them about last week. They should have the “Faces Chart” handout,
but if they do not, please see the pile I have on my desk and give
them one. They should know that the assignment is to 'assign' a
prevalent mood to the character of Hamlet (they should focus on his
actions in act 3, but they can use the whole play if they want) and
write an essay supporting this argument. For example, a good thesis
statement, tell them, would be “In act 3 of the play, Hamlet's most
prevalent mood is that of 'exasperated'” or something such as this.
They are to provide at least three quotes from the play to support
their argument. They may use their books to do this, obviously...but
you might also offer them the computers—they can go on youtube.com
and view clips of the film we have been watching, etc. They can have
the entire block to use for this writing assignment. Please tell them
that I will collect it on Friday. Thank you!!
(eat lunch)
BLOCK 3: College
Prep English 9. This class had an assignment due on the chapter
called “The Dog Star.” Please first tell the class that I will
collect this assignment next class! For today's class, I would like
them to focus on two things: Number one, they may finish any parts
they have of this assignment, as it will be graded. (please note—I
put this assignment on the board and my blog last time...kids can
refer to that if they have questions). The second thing I would like
them to do is to FINISH to book (they only have about another chapter
in THE EDUCATION OF LITTLE TREE). For an extra credit bonus
opportunity, if they write at least a half page
reaction/opinion/summary of the final chapters, I will give them an A
on a quiz! If they finish these two things (they should be pretty
busy all class) they may read or work silently.
BLOCK 4: Honors
English 12/College Composition-This class should follow the plan for
Block 1 please. NOTE** Please make sure that, at the end of the day,
that the kids make sure the computers are PLUGGED IN. Thank you!!!!
Please note that this class has their papers due WEDNESDAY (which is
next class).
Please see Dave
Lachapelle should you have any questions. He will help you out. His
room is just outside my door, and to the left. Thanks again!!
ALSO, you can tell
kids that if they have any questions, I will be posting these sub
plans on my classroom web site, which is
www.goldsmithenglish.blogpost.com.
Thanks again!
