Remind 101

Today we added some information to our notebooks. For those of you who are still unsure, here is what the table of contents looks like in the notebook:

On pg 60 you will find the beginning of the chapter summaries.  This picture is for an HL class, so it says "HOB" (Hound of the Baskervilles). The page number is the same for SL, just with "HG" in that section for "Hunger Games"

On pg 55 we started our first notes on elements of fiction. Today kids learned about theme. Please ask them to share their definition with you, or have them check the board if they don't have it in their notebook yet.

At the far back, and upside down, we have our "Pause and Think" section of the notebook. In that section kids are writing more reflective pieces.  Here is the link the the SL Pause and Think, and the link to the HL Pause and Think. The responses in these sections should be 4 sentences. I'm working on getting some writing prompts together for the students who are reading an alternative novel, but that is not complete at this time.

Also, today I discussed my pilot use of Remind 101 with my HL classes. I will be telling SL about it tomorrow. See below for the directions on how to get the reminders. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A REMINDER SERVICE. STUDENTS ARE NOT TO RELY ON THIS FOR INFORMATION. MY FAILURE TO SEND OUT A REMINDER WILL NOT BE A VALID EXCUSE FOR A STUDENT TO NOT COMPLETE THEIR WORK. ALL ASSIGNMENTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSTED EITHER IN THE CLASSROOM OR ON THE BLOG, IN ADDITION TO BEING EXPRESSED VERBALLY IN CLASS.

High Level classes (hours 5,7), follow these directions:

Standard Level classes (hours 2,4, 8),  follow these directions:
