Comp/Lit 10: 8/30/10

Welcome Back Class of 2013!

• We started the class period by getting each student into his/her assigned seat.
• Once everyone was seated, Mr Leal & myself started the class and introductions.
• We used a power point presentation to take us through the entire class.  
• The first order of business was the Animal Farm test.  The summer read test is 20 questions and is meant to check to see if each student read or not.
• Following the test, the students picked up the "Let's Get Acquainted" handout and the Course Expectations handout.  The students were expected to complete the "Let's Get Acquainted" handout and begin to read through the Course Expectations.
• Once each student had completed his/her test, we reviewed the test as a class.  We introduced the scoring protocols (since we will scores several tests in class), then the students returned the test to the owner.
• We discussed taking ownership of the student's work.  We had them check to make sure that the test had been accurately corrected, then we collected the corrected test.
• At this point we began to move through the power point.  The purpose of the power point was to take the class through the highlights of the Course Expectations.
• In the end, we reviewed the homework:  Read the the entire Course Expectations, sign them and have a parent/guardian sign them; bring $25.00 for the grammar and vocabulary workbooks; read through the reading list and bring up to two books for extra credit.
• We finished the period by playing an ice breaker.  Each student took as many M&M's from a bowl as they'd like.  Based on the colors they chose, each student had to share something about themselves.
