Report & Reflect 2.6

Please make sure your Autobiographical Incident Essay is Shared AND DONE!  If you can't share it via the iPads, use one of the iMacs.

In class today, we are asking you to complete Report & Reflect 2.6 online.  Select your class below:


When you have finished R&R2.6, please register for the AVID 10 section on turnitin.com, by clicking the relevant course link below AFTER YOU HAVE COPIED THE course # and memorized the enrollment key (it's millernerd  for ALL of Romo's sections).  If you have NEVER USED turnitin, you will have to create an account - ask us (or a peer) for help.  

AVID10.2 (Period 2) = 11317937  enrollment key = millernerd
AVID10.6 (Period 6) = 11317960  enrollment key = millernerd

THEN...pick up a Characteristics/Values Matching (actually, a fill-in) sheet for AVID 10.  Each side is a different class (Period 2 & Period 6).  Look at the self-selected Characteristics & Values and write in the name of the person you believe wrote them.  You are encouraged to seek out the person and confirm it.  When you are done - bring it to us and we'll see how well you know your peers!


You can use the rest of class time to use as you wish.

ENJOY YOUR 16 DAYS!!!!

Report & Reflect 2.5

READ EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!!

You must first complete this week's LearningLog/Report & Reflect 2.6.  Make sure you flip the switch so a copy of your submission is emailed to you - think of it as a receipt.  Check your email and see what your submitted work looks like - that is what we will see.  Click your Class Link Below:


When you have finished R&R 2.6, use the rest of class to complete any missing work, STARTING WITH AVID:  Go back to Wednesday's entry and start, continue/finish, or redo (sadly) your "My Characteristics & Values" worksheet entry.  Again, flip the switch so a copy of your submission is emailed to you.

When you are done, give yourself a self-affirmation and plow through work for other classes - print out any missing work so you have it for the weekend!

Oh, and enjoy the weekend - you have to submit a TRF for Tuesday OR Thursday, but YOU MUST have a MATH TRF for Tuesday ALSO.  We'll be following the routine below until further notice:

Monday - AVIDy stuff - strategies, writing, etc.
Tuesday - TRFs Due - TWO!!! One for Math and one for Eng/Sci/Soc.  We will go through the Math ones, study up and offer math support either at the end of Tuesday or beginning of Thursday.
Wednesday - AVIDy stuff - strategies, writing, etc.
Thursday - Tutorials
Friday - Report & Reflect and free work time.

My Characteristics & Values in Google

The process of writing usually involves you wanting to skip over the preparation and jumping right in to writing, printing, and submitting...then moving on to the next assignment.  But there is MORE TO IT!

You have a project to be completed this qtr, which we are working toward completing...in little steps.  Remember the interviews?  Remember the introductions you wrote - about your interviewees and yourself?  Remember the "My Characteristics & Values" handout from Monday?  These are all part of a larger assignment.

Today, you will enter your "My Characteristics & Values" into a GoogleForm - BOTH SIDES.  You MUST finish this TODAY.  Do not waste your time and be mindful that you will have to write two paragraphs of at least 80 words each. We will take your submissions and share the results back with you on Friday or Monday - whenever we can get the Chromebooks again!?!?!

When/If you finish, you can write & submit a TRF for tomorrow.

Got it?  Now start filling in the My Characteristics & Values GoogleForm by clicking this link.
