JOURNAL TOPIC:
Alright. This week is not going the way I
planned. Being sick sucks, and not being with you guys for a third day
in a row sucks worse.
But there is a very silver
lining. Those of you who are contributing ideas here and on your own
blogs are officially learning independently. You're exactly the kind of
self-starter that universities and employers look for.
So my question today is (for those of you crushing it): How does it feel to seize the opportunity?
And
my question today is (for those of you not doing anything I can see
online and not emailing me for help): How does it feel to waste the
opportunity?
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2.
Today is reflection in the form of torturing a friend. Write a test
with at least two questions per chapter. Post the questions (BUT NOT
THE ANSWERS) on your blog (TITLE: GATSBY TEST CHAPTERS 1-4). Get three
friends to take the test by commenting to your post with their answers.
Grade them and report their grades with the correct answers in a second
post (TITLE: GATSBY TEST GRADES).
Q: Dr. Preston, what if I can't get three friends to take my test?
A: Fine-tune your powers of persuasion and try harder. This is all-or-nothing.
I'm Sorry you're sick, Dr. Preston. Anything I can do to help?
ReplyDeleteThank you Satchel-- the truth is, I was just sitting here feeling really frustrated when I saw your note, and reading it made me feel better. So you already did something to help :)
DeleteNow if the antibiotics would just kick in...
My Pleasure. Now, go get some sleep, eat chicken soup, and dream about a Third Period class that would willingly participate in something. Isn't that something all teachers dream about?
DeleteThat is a winning prescription. Will do and thanks again, Dr. Hogan
DeleteNo Problem.
