SUB PLANS FOR FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 20
SUB PLANS
JARED GOLDSMITH
FRIDAY, SEPT. 20,
2019
*Please note: I have
told all these classes the plan ahead of time, so none of this should
be a surprise to them! Thanks! *
BLOCK 1 COLLEGE PREP
12 ENGLISH: This is a fantastic, SMALL class who works well
independently. Please pass out the double sided “grammar test” to
them. Please tell them that this does not count as a real TEST!!! It
will count towards their participation grade. Please do not collect
it when they are done; please ask them to bring it to class for next
time and I will collect it. When students are done, they should work
on reading for their “Book Talks” that are to be presented on
October 24. Some may not have their books, and they can work on other
homework. Thank you!
BLOCK 2 COLLEGE
ENGLISH 12 : A big class, but a great group of young people. These
are seniors taking a “dual enrollment” class where they are
getting WHS credit AND a credit from Thomas College. For this class,
please hand out the same double sided “diagnostic grammar test”
that you gave to the CP class. They should work on this and TREAT IT
like a test....please tell them that this is stuff they “should”
know from previous years of English. Please tell them it will count
as a participation grade and not a test...but they should still
strive to get the best answers as they can. When they are done,
please remind them to look over their BookTalk rubrics and
familiarize themselves with the grading process. They can use
remaining time to read their books. PLEASE NOTE: Mr McNeil and Ms
Marin (the guidance counselors) delivered a presentation to the
seniors during their last class. THEY MAY BE BACK TO TALK TO THE
CLASS because they didn't quite finish with them last time! Just so
you are aware. They are both wonderful to work with! Thank you for
your understanding. One more note: Please do not collect any work
from the class....I will take their “tests” next time
FOCUS TIME: Please
be sure to take attendance. Students are to work quietly....
BLOCK 3 STUDY HALL:
Many kids go to other places (Ms Littlefields...Ms Beckwith...the
library....the art room...Mr Bolduc...etc). Please make sure each
student SIGNS OUT on the book on top of the file cabinet by the door.
They should also show you their pass. The kids are very good about
doing this. You will most likely be left with a small group of great
kids who work hard. Thanks!
(you eat second
lunch....the study hall is split in half....)
BLOCK 4 COLLEGE
ENGLISH 12: Please follow the same plan from my block 2 version of
the class....it is the same class, just a different section...
I hope you have a
great day subbing. Please note that I will post this whole lesson
plan on my class web site, which is
www.goldsmithenglish.blogspot.com.
You can definitely tell the kids that the plan is on there too!
Thanks again!
