10/15 In-class

Step #1:
Check this schedule for your SLC this Wednesday and make sure one or more of your parents/guardians can be there.  Click here for schedule

Notecard prep:
*Come to class on Wednesday with 5 notecards, written in bullet-points and written in TEA format.

Notecard #1:  Your Habit of Heart and Mind Strengths
Notecard #2:  Your Habit of Heart and Mind Areas for Growth
Notecard #3:  What you are proud of in 1st Humanities project?
Notecard #4:  What could you have refined further?
Notecard #5:  How will you succeed going forward?

Step #2.  Make sure your project reflection is complete and show it to Matt on your DP  Link on how to complete.

Step #3:  Look in your journal section of your binder.  I graded journals 1, 3, 4, and 5 if your binder was in my classroom this weekend.
If they've been graded, they have a score out of 5 written at the top.
If you have an incomplete grade or took your binder home, show Matt your complete journal entries.
Journal #1:  "What activities bring you 'flow'?"
Journal #3:  What "psychological prisons" (mental limitations) do you live in?
Journal #4:  Why do people do bad things?
Journal #5:  How have you been socialized around wealth and poverty?

Step #4: Assemble all of the evidence that you have for your SLC--your essay on googledocs, quizzes, journals, annotations, etc.  Find a partner and practice giving your presentation.

Step #5: Extra credit!  Create a 1-page 'classroom design' as a proposal on how to make our classroom more beautiful, welcoming, and fun to work in.  Consider:
a.  How can we make the lighting better?
b.  Should we re-arrange the layout of the supply tables, binder shelves, Matt's desk, bookshelves, etc?  How?
c.  What can we do to use our wall-space more effectively?  Appreciations sheet?  Quotes of the day?  Birthday celebrations?  Etc, etc.

Your "classroom design" should be an annotated 'floor map' looking at the classroom from above, with a backside full of notes and explanations.  You can either hand-draw and hand-write it, or use this website.  click here

  Step #6:  Revise/refine your wall-folder if needed.
