On to Scheduling for 10th Grade!

Mid-winter break is over...sad!  Unfortunately for my motivational factor, my kids have the whole week off, so I'm fighting the wish/need to stay home with them!  But onward we go...

This week we're trying to continue on with the research paper, while at the same time, the process for scheduling is beginning.  During 2nd Hour on Tuesday (today), we're going to the cafeteria to get the information.  Then during my classes on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, students go to the counseling office to work one-on-one with the counselors on the schedules, and the plans they have for the rest of high school.  They need to have planned out their schedules in pencil and gotten as many signatures as possible before meeting with their counselors. While all this is happening, I continue to try to teach.  So here's the plan:

• Tuesday, 2/16 - students create and check in their thesis statements; then they work on organizing their notes into an outline.
• Wednesday, 2/17 - students check in their outlines, and then we continue on to the drafting element, working in parenthetical citations, all on the Google Drive platform.  While doing this, they exit the room three at a time to go work with their counselors.
• Thursday, 2/18 - students draft their rough draft on Google Drive while continuing to meet with their counselors.
• Friday, 2/19 - students finish their rough draft on Google Drive while continuing to meet with their counselors.

If the scheduling is too disruptive, I'll move the rough draft due date to Monday, 2/22.  I'll change it on the electronic calendar if that is the case.

So that's the plan.  I hope everyone has a great week!  Ciao!
