Homework for Wednesday, March 2nd

Complete the portfolio reflection assignment (refer to previous post for details) and read Strayer 589-594.

Winter Break

While there is no homework due Monday after the break, I wanted to remind you about the first assignment we'll be working on, which will be due Wednesday, March 2nd. It is a mid-course reflection, which will help you prepare a component of your portfolio in advance of the student-led conferences. It includes three parts:

1. one-page typed response to questions distributed (address all 3 sections)
2. selection of one or two artifacts that showcase your growth
3. one-paragraph typed explanation of how it does that

Please type your response using the standard format (1" margins, 12 pt. font, in this case single-space)

Week of February 13th

No reading this week, just review. We'll take the term identification part of the exam on Tuesday, and write the essays in class on Thursday.

Homework for Friday, Feb.11

Please create 12 point outlines for all three essays on next week's exam. These are due at the beginning of class, and will be assigned a grade. I will provide feedback and return them to you on Tuesday of next week. We will complete the ids on Tuesday, and write the essays in class on Thursday.
