Reminder: End of Marking Period Coming Up!

Class:

Again, I hope that you and your family are safe and healthy. This is just to remind you all of a few logistical details about our course this marking period.

1: Your assignments/activities are still due. The expectation from the RCSD is that you continue your coursework. While I haven't required too much so that you can progress and pass your academic classes, your writing is important. Most of our missing assignments were due BEFORE the closure of schools. These assignments count. Please spend the next week completing them if you haven't turned the work in yet.

2: I will not be collecting your journal (obviously), but I am grading your blog posts. Please make sure you complete the required blog posts. See this blog or Google Classroom for details.

3: Your Stephen King short story draft is due tomorrow. Please make sure you complete that by the end of next week (April 17). It's worth a grade... see our Google Classroom for more details.

4: You should have finished "On Writing" by Stephen King by this time. If you haven't, you're missing a lot of helpful and good advice about "writing for publication." If you don't have your copy that I gave you in physical form, there is a PDF copy of the book on our Google Classroom. You can find it there.

5: Stay well, but also remember that your teachers are trying to contact you daily (mostly through your student email accounts). Please make sure you are checking your district email regularly.

6: If you need to contact me, please do so. I am available 24/7 through email. You can also request a Zoom meeting with me if you need to talk to me directly. See the posts on Zoom and my email address if you need it.

Remember to check your Google Classroom for required assignments/activities and resources! Stay in touch!
