PBH Due 4.4.13

Hi All,

Please do the following:

1.) Complete the vacation packet using the writing strategies I taught you in class. If the question asks you to argue your point, use the writing strategies I taught you for the sports argumentative essay using the modified testing writing strategies which is the Hook + Thesis, TEC (blending your evidence with your comments in one sentence, repeating it three times using quotation marks around the evidence) "The Bottom Line" method as your conclusion. If not, use the modified paragraphs for state tests which is the Hook + Thesis, TEC (blending your evidence with your comments in one sentence, repeating it three times using quotation marks around the evidence) and the SET dynamite conclusion strategy. Please refer to your notes. Due April 4, 2013.

2.) Class 8-421: Your sci-fi movie will be due on April 15, 2013. It will NOT be due when you return from vacation. However, I do need a draft of the script, neatly typed or handwritten, with all the stage directions/instructions, actions, etc. on April 8, 2013. The movie will be shown each day after you have taken the ELA test. This will be your "relaxation" break immediately after the test.

A rubric and outline for your sci-fi movie will be provided for you either via blogspot or in class when you return from vacation. Trust me your vacation packet will keep you busy. However, if you are working on your sci-fi movie and you need me to answer a question, email me.

3.) Class 8-401: your sci-fi graphic novel will be due April 25, 2013, which is the day you have Mr. Sillman for technology. The first draft of your neatly typed or handwritten script is due on April 8, 2013. You will be provided with an outline either via blogspot posting or when you return from vacation. Trust me your vacation packet will keep you busy. However, if you are working on your sci-fi graphic novel and you need me to answer a question, email me.

Email me if you have any questions at thereadingcafe@aol.com. Please don't wait until the last minute to ask questions. I want great work from you, not last minute work!

ENJOY YOUR VACATION!
