Friday, October 14 -- Week 9 EARLY CALENDAR

Shout out to Ryan for posting quality work in Week 8!  I was especially impressed with Lesson 2!

Shout out to Grace for posting quality work in Week 8!  I was especially impressed with Lessons 1 and 2!

 

Many of you continue to be out of school and there are still several who do not have power.  Do not worry about late work -- Weeks 8-9 work will not be counted late due to Hurricane Matthew.   Take one day at a time!  Use some of the time management strategies from Week 4 to help you prioritize and plan your week.  I am doing the same:)

Weeks 1-9 remain open to allow you to make up missing assignments.  They will close October 25.

Now that we have hit the halfway mark in our course, it is important to reflect on what you do well and what you need to work on improving.  Here are a few strengths and weaknesses to be mindful of in our course so that you continue to be successful:

Strengths

• Windshield Checks -- thanks for sending me your updates on weekly progress!
• Participation -- thanks for your awesome replies to classmates

Weaknesses

• Text-based answers -- remember to use the text to answer the questions (even the questions that seemingly can be answered without it).  Review the Course Documents for resources on how to use text in your work.
• Complete explanations -- remember to answer all parts of all questions and to fully explain your ideas.   Our questions are not designed for one-sentence answers.  Be sure you are detailing examples from your life, the text, and/or the real world.
