SUB PLANS FOR MONDAY MAY 16

SUB PLANS: MAY 16, 2015
JARED GOLDSMITH

BLOCK 1: Block 1: Study Hall in my room. There are some kids who sign out to go to the library OR to Mrs Vigue's (music teacher) room. It is a pretty laid back bunch....

BLOCK 2: College Composition (seniors). I told these classes in advance that I would be out today. The assignment is for the kids to use their time either continuing the reading (we left off at chapter 58) in THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO or they can use the time to do some 'research' for their final exam. PLEASE NOTE: There were several students absent last class, so some may not know about the 'final.' Please tell them to check in with me tomorrow and I will fill them in

LUNCH

BLOCK 3: College Prep 11. I also told this class in advance that I would be out/what they needed to do. We have begun the novel FINDING FORRESTER and the kids know they are responsible for chapters 1 through 3 for Wednesday. Please have them use their time to read and work on that stuff. Thanks!

BLOCK 4: SAME AS BLOCK 2


Thank you so much for subbing for me today. Please also tell the students that I have posted these sub plans on my blog (www.goldsmithenglish.blogspot.com) for their convenience

ORANGE DAY

DUAL ENROLLMENT

Today I spoke with the class regarding several things--most notably about "finishing" the novel on your own, as, from this point on, we will be doing other things in class (film, etc). I handed out the assignment for the FINAL EXAM to students FOR INFORMATION ONLY! The handout explains the type of composition you will be asked to write for your final exam. At this point in the reading, we are through chapter 58....you should continue reading from there. PLEASE NOTE that I will NOT be in on Monday...the sub plan I am leaving is for you to work on reading the novel or researching for your final...on Wednesday, when I return, we will view the film. We also took the CHARACTER MATCHING quiz today, so if you didnt come to school, come see me!


COLLEGE PREP 11

Today in class we learned about QUESTION GENERATING techniques for literature...we broke into groups and did literal, inferential, and transcendent questions for a film/show/book of your choice...

We began FINDING FORRESTER and the assignment is to read the first three chapters. Please note that I will NOT be in on Monday...the plan I am leaving with the sub is for you to read in the book so that we can do the activity on Wednesday...
