Website Update 12-26-12

Website updated all the way through to Ms. Young's unit on intro to Persuasive writing. If you are missing any previous homework pieces it would be best if you did that over break and came back fresh and ready to start a new unit: Public Speaking and Debates!

Please feel free to look through the site and get familiar to a new resource to you and your parents. I will still be posting through edmodo but this way even parents can access what is needed, and it is nicely organized by unit of study and proficiencies and additional print outs and websites are clearly listed. Please give me feedback on what else you would like to see added to help you be a better student!

I am cracking down on those of you that are not doing homework. I would like to remind you that you can come into my room after school Monday, Wednesday-Friday till 4pm. I am also available on Tuesday but only until 3pm. Please take advantage of coming to my room on those days to do the videos if you are having trouble accessing them outside of school.

Please know that if you are consistently not doing your homework I will be having a conversation with you on a regular basis on how I can help you develop this GREAT student habit, that will only help you throughout the rest of your educational career- not just in my class! I am also going to be sending a weekly phone call home on those that are not doing their homework, so again, please make it a priority to do your work.

Organization of Past Video Homework

Both pages, Expository Writing- Paragraph, and Expository Writing- Essay, have been updated. Hopefully if you are missing WSQ#1-5 this will make things a lot easier. All links, printable pages, and accompany videos can be found attached to one another in all of the specific proficiency/unit pages. This is now available to parents and students. I will still be using edmodo to remind you and post the links but for the most part the links will be to this blog page, per what unit we are on. You will follow the instructions from there. Please leave feedback and comments as needed. I am looking forward to how our class continues to morph and change as teacher and student learn more about the process of truly flipping a classroom!

Welcome to Mrs. Carter's attempt to better organize all of our class videos and homework offerings so that you as a student can come to a concept at any time.

This site is a work in progress, if there is something you would like to see change or added please feel free to let me know!
