Week 4 and a Whole Lot More

If you have been coming to Mr. Latman's evening school English 1 class since the first day, this is Week 4, Day 13. Because of Presidents' Day, there will be only 3 days of class this week. I've worked out an Assessment Grid for 10 tasks that you should have done by last Friday. You can find it in the Resource folder at MyClass, if you want to run one for yourself. You won't receive credit for doing a task until there are no longer any corrections to be made. So you must make grammatical, spelling, and content corrections for your Blog responses. Please do so as soon as you get into class.

This week you will be looking at the similarities between Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X, continue with readings and Blogging responses from The Best of Simple, and continue working on your Langston Hughes PowerPoint Mid-term Presentation.

Your Blog Site Address

I still don't have everyone with the correct Blog address. I need your first and last name as one word dot blogspot dot com as in garylatman.blogspot.com. If you don't have it set up this way, please log in and call me over to your computer and I'll correct it in the Settings.

Here It Is Week 2 -- What Have You Learned

In this, the second week of our Evening School English 1 class, we will continue to work on reading some Langston Hughes, using our individual Blog sites for response to my writing prompts. And we will continue to edit the Blogs making revisions (see my Comments), correcting spelling and grammatical errors as well, and making the response clearer. At various times, you will be asked to send email to me or to your classmates with an attachment.

Let's start today by checking our Blogs for my Comments and then Edit your Blog if my response asks you to make changes or correct spelling and grammar. If you haven't finished last week's work, do so immediately before logging into your email.

As a reminder, our assignments are at your MyClass site and your responses are at your Blogger site.

The book that I ordered for each of you, The Best of Simple by Langston Hughes, should be arriving by the end of this week. I think you will enjoy these vignettes.
