  • I'm using this space to remind myself of "What's Up" in the coming days/weeks. It's better than writing it down because I can't really "lose" my Xanga... I hope.

    Anyhow... the English 110 students have a workday (for the teaching part of Project 4) today in addition to putting up their posters (part of Project 4.5); I have already emailed the Copy Center the list of questions the students will respond to in their groups for the other half of Project 4.5. They could start writing up those small group essays Wednesday after they present. I think I'll have them due next Monday at the beginning of class time before we jump into Project 5 and David Sedaris. And, yep, they need to bring his book to class Monday, too.

    Okay, English 105 will hand in their P3 packets tomorrow at the beginning of class (and quiz & tech words) & then we'll do a "complaint or congrats letter" to a company of their choice as a small assignment. Project 4 will be introduced on Wednesday, so I should send the Copy Center that project to be printed today. While they work on P4 (Thurs& Fri, due Monday), I'll assess their P3s/tech words/quizzes.

    Speaking of P3s, both sections of Online English 120 have completed theirs & are voting on their favorites. I need to assess those and the bonus work tomorrow that was due last Saturday. They will start up with P4 this week; I should send off a detailed email tomorrow about that project because it can seem more overwhelming than it is.

    So, assessment is taken care of... the P4s in Eng110 are assessed as they are presented; I can assess the P4.5s next week... The things in Eng105 will be taken care of as they start another project, and Eng120 will be wrapped up tomorrow after my 8am class (yet before my two meetings).
