Hello there, my beautiful children! Since we are on a paper shortage here at school, I need you to print these items at home and bring them to class.
Please click on the links to access the documents I need you to print (I will let you know when you have to read them, but feel free to get a head start):
Click HERE for Stanton's "Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions." You only have to print the section on sentiments. No need to print the resolutions' portion.
Click HERE to print Abigail Adams' letter to her husband.
Click HERE to print "The Declaration of Independence."
Click HERE to print the "Make Way" cartoon from Life, 1917.
Oppression will be our focus for the next few weeks, especially with the start of our novel, Iola Leroy, or Shadows Uplifted. The first major essay will focus on the aforementioned five documents, as well as our novel.
DON'T PANIC; I will be with you EVERY step of the way!
Forget Wade, Bosh and James! C-Rod's class is the TRUE DREAM TEAM!!!!
This school year is going to be an exciting SEASON of victories and triumphs, and I am honored to be your learning coach.
We are going to use this blog as part of our PLAY BOOK to better us as a TEAM! On this blog, you will find tips for homework and projects, extra credit assignments, recaps of activities, a list of upcoming assignments, videos and slideshows of our BEST PLAYS, among many other resources. As your COACH, I expect my PLAYERS to view, learn from, and comment on our PLAY BOOK. I recommend that you look at our PLAY BOOK at least every other day.
Your first assignment is to create an ID and/or email account then post a comment. Your ID/Email MUST include your first name, only your last initial and your period number (Google e-mail is free, by the way). For example, a student named Christy Lopez in period 2 would have an ID/email of ChristyL2. This will help me identify you easier. If I have you for two classes, you only need to add one of the two period numbers, not both. I highly recommend that you ALL jot down your ID somewhere visible (maybe put it on a post-it note and stick it on your computer). You will need to use this every time you post.
Once you create your ID, comment under this post. I want a quick blurb on what you would like to see happen during our SEASON as the Dream Team. Please know that "doing nothing" and "sleeping" is not an ideal response. I promise you, that will never happen! I really would like to know what you want to get out of my class! Please remember that your comments should be mature, insightful, grammatically correct, and PG-rated!
If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to call on me. I am here to guide, lead, and coach you!See you on the playing field for PRACTICE, and be ready to help create our TEAM GOALS!
