From One Second to the Next

We watched a documentary about Texting & Driving from Werner Herzog via YouTube.  It is 30 minutes long and you took notes and then added your questions to the left column.

There are four stories - and have some tissues handy, unless you are a robot.

  

LAST Work Day

Today is the last day with class time to complete your Mandala Essay FINAL DRAFT.  Remember that it must be submitted via turnitin by 11:59 PM Tuesday - the system will NOT allow you to submit it late.  You must also submit a hard copy to us on Thursday (when we get to see one-another for 90 minutes).

For tomorrow, you will have to complete a Course-Teacher Success Profile, with a specific Course-Teacher assigned to you.  You will also read two selections that will be discussed as a Course Final on Thursday.  Yes, this means NO TRF!!!  The tutors will be available to help you process the Success Profiles and readings.

Remember that you have 5 days with no school, beginning Friday.  We are jealous.

If you were ABSENT (EXCUSED) on Friday, you can complete R&R 2.7 HERE.

Incident and R&R2.7

Your Autobiographical Incident Essay (FINAL DRAFT) is DUE TUESDAY at 11:59 PM - SUBMIT it into "Incident" when you are ready to do so.  You will have today in which to do what you can - reading reviews from your peers, completing your essay, or (hopefully) fixing up your first draft so it reads beautifully and you can submit it and no longer worry about it!  You may also have some time on Monday - but there is NO guarantee.

Regardless, you must FIRST COMPLETE REPORT & REFLECT 2.7 TODAY (Click link the appropriate below).  I believe you need to be logged into your school Google account in order to do so.

Period 2 AVID10.2 Report & Reflect 2.7 (1-8-16) (DUE IN CLASS ON FRIDAY)
Period 6 AVID10.6 Report & Reflect 2.7 (1-8-16) (DUE IN CLASS ON FRIDAY)
If you were ABSENT (EXCUSED) on Friday, you can complete R&R 2.7 HERE.

Enjoy your weekend!

Peer Review Recap

You read the PeerMarks from your classmates and began re-writing your FINAL DRAFT of your Autobiographical Incident Paper.  The FINAL DRAFT is DUE MONDAY.  You will have class time on Friday to work on it, but do not expect more time.

PeerMark 1

Yes, we are ALL tired.  I saw Star Wars at 10:45 PM last night - I didn't get home until 1:30 AM and didn't sleep until after 3...then woke up at 6:45!  Poke me if I fall asleep.  We have a few things for you to do in class today.
SUBMIT your essay via turnitin.  You can resubmit a new version at any time - but you must have something submitted today.
 - I will walk you through it using one of you as a guinea pig
     -volunteer?
You can use the rest of class time to finish your ROUGH DRAFT or other work - remember that Final Exams are NEXT WEEK.
PRINT OUT YOUR ROUGH DRAFT of this first Essay (Autobiographical Incident).
Turn THAT in to Grussing or Romo.
Tomorrow - You will PEERMARK 3-4 other essays.
This simply means you'll read through essays from your peers, mark it up, and insert comments.
Weds & Friday = Clean up your first draft into a FINAL DRAFT, which is DUE FRIDAY!

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:

AVID10.2 (Period 2)

AVID10.6 (Period 6)

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:

Period 2 - AVID 10 (Grussing/Romo)

Period 6 - AVID 10 (Romo)

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!
