PBH Due 1.3.14 (and other dates too)
Hello All,
Please do the following:
THE READING CAFE BLOGGING
421 Blogging due before 7pm Monday, December 16, 2013. Use this homework post to post your blog comments.
Question: Using the research article you printed for your group's focus topic and the novel, How did the social/emotional, physical/health, socio-economic, environmental or political impacts of the Vietnam War affect Ha and her family?
419 Blogging due before 7pm Thursday, December 16, 2013. Since I still have your articles, you will receive it on Wednesday. However, those students who scored a 2 and below on their printed articles must research a more appropriate article in order to receive a better grade. Please use this homework post to post your blog comments.
Question: Using the research article you printed for your group's focus topic and the novel, How did the social/emotional, physical/health, socio-economic, environmental or political impacts of the Vietnam War affect Ha and her family?
You must respond to another person who is not in your group. For example, one person who posts a comment about the political impacts must respond to another person who discussed any of the other topics that is not about politics. This will give you a more well-rounded overview of all aspects of the war that affected both Vietnam and the United States.
LEARN BOOST SELF-EVALUATION - EXTENDED UNTIL 12.19.13.
NO EVALUATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THAT DATE. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU SCROLL TO THE PREVIOUS PBH POSTING TO FIND THE INSTRUCTIONS AND QUESTIONS FOR THE EVALUATION.
COMMUNITY SERVICE REFLECTION - Due 1.3.14
421 - Your reflection outline is different from other classes since you had more community service experiences than the other classes. Therefore, you must follow the outline and leave nothing out. Please note that for each of the community service projects you participate in physically, you will receive 5 extra points. You have had 5 community service experiences thus far, so that is 25 points multiplied by two. You will only receive these points when you attend the trip and complete the reflection essay. It must be typed, 12 font, Times New Roman, double spaced (paragraphs only not the heading) and college block style heading. Follow the heading example on the outline. Any other font size or lettering style WILL BE THROWN IN THE GARBAGE!
419 - Your reflection outline will only be about your visit to The Salvation Army. You will receive the outline on Wednesday. Please note that the same pertains to you. You have been on two community service trips and that is a total of 10 points. Please note that you will receive it by attending the trip as well as completing and following the outline for the essay. Those students who did not attend the trip or complete the Flushing Meadow Park reflection will not receive points. It must be typed, 12 font, Times New Roman, double spaced (paragraphs only not the heading) and college block style heading. Any other font size or lettering style WILL BE THROWN IN THE GARBAGE!
END OF UNIT QUICK WRITE TAKE HOME TEST - Due 1.3.14
Use the graphic organizers that I gave you the week of Monday, December 16, 2013 to help you craft your two quick write paragraphs for the poem "Saigon Is Gone" and the transcript "Forgotten Ship: A Daring Rescue As Saigon Fell". You will receive a copy of the test with the instructions and materials needed on Wednesday or Thursday.
For class 421 students, who don't have your workbook, which I think is all of you, please click on the following link below to access pages 185-191. These pages contain the transcript you will need for extracting evidence for the essay.

PBH Due 12.16.13 (and other dates too)
Hello All,
UPDATED INFORMATION!!!
LEARNBOOST ASSIGNMENT
If you look on learnboost, you will see your grades posted. You are still responsible for answering the LearnBoost Self-Evaluation Questions which will be due on the 13th, however, you will not receive your progress reports until next week, since most of you need to show me your redone classwork/homework in your workbook.
Please note that the grades you see now, will either drop or increase based on what you receive on your other classwork and homework assignments. You will not get another opportunity to redo your yellow workbook from the day that it is due. It is your responsibility to complete it either at home, during extra help 7th period on your class's assigned day or during extended day. If you choose not to redo the work, your grade will remain the same or if it is not done at all, it will be a zero. There are no surprises on my part and there shouldn't be on yours. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
Also, please note that you will see on learnboost that there are workbook assignments with no grades. When you hand in your workbook on Monday the 16th, your grades will be posted between Monday and Tuesday afternoon/evening of that week. Later that week, you will receive your progress report. This must be signed by your parents and brought in on the day I tell you. Once it is signed and returned you will receive an extra 5 points.
PRE-COLLEGE ASSIGNMENT
Follow the Pre-College Research Assignment instructions so that you will know what to do. When we complete Lessons 12 and 13 in class, we will begin the research. Therefore, this means that the thesis statement and any other part of the essay will not be due until we begin our first day of research for the pre-college assigment, which has not begun yet. Please note that judging from the days it takes to complete the lessons, the other business we need to take care of in the classroom and trips, some of the dates I told you to change may change again and may go into January of 2014, the week we return from vacation. I will let you know when we begin the research what changes will be made.
TAKE HOME TEST
As mentioned, there are 14 lessons in Unit 1 and the 14th lesson is an assessment. You will do this assessment at home using the workbook, your notes and Inside Out & Back Again. The test MUST BE COMPLETED DURING VACATION AND RETURNED ON JANUARY 3, 2014. You will receive further information later.
TOYS R US TRIP on 12.12.13
I NEED AT LEAST 5 PARENTS TO CHAPERONE AS WE GO TO VARIOUS AREAS OF THE STORE. IF WE DON'T HAVE PARENTS, GUARDIANS OR ANYONE FROM YOUR FAMILY 21 AND OVER, I MAY HAVE TO CANCEL THE TRIP.
If you have any questions, please email me at thereadingcafe@aol.com before 7pm Mon-Fri or call Dial-A-Teacher for help in other subject areas at 212.777.3380 Mon-Fri between 4-7 pm.
