Today is the last Moodle day to work on blogs and videos. Students' PBL assessment is due tomorrow. They had most of the hour to add any finishing touches; the hour began with a short quiz on fair use and copyright. I'm impressed with the few blogs I've peeked at--please ask your student to pull up their project! I think you'll be impressed. (The blogs are private, so you'll be able to access them only via your student.)

The rest of our week is fairly mellow--tomorrow we'll return to another Article of the Week and Wednesday is SSR. I like to conference with each one of my students about their progress in ELA 11 which I'll try to do those days. If necessary, I may need to move into next week. Exam schedule has changed a bit because Mr. Gough was able to have GVSU students perform Shakespeare for the entire student body on Friday. What a great opportunity! I've cancelled this week's vocabulary quiz due to exams--our exam in ELA 11 is an ACT reading skills test, so no studying is involved, but I know juniors have some pretty tough exams in some of their other classes. Hopefully, this will provide them with one less thing to worry about.
