Welcome to the 4th 9 weeks! To my 7th and 8th graders this will be a little change from what you are use to. Yes, I have resigned, but I will continue teaching the class virtually for the remainder of the year, which means you will HAVE to turn stuff in into google classroom, and you will HAVE to complete all assignments online in order to get credit.
Grading: Much like last 9 weeks, there will be weekly skills that you will be required to work on, and this will act as your formative assessments. Where I could observe you when I was in the building, I can't now. You will need to turn in a learning artifact each week that covers the skill for the week. This will be in the form of a reflection, a blog, a flipgrid video, or a video demonstrating the skill. Our first weekly skill will be interview skills. In addition to these weekly formative grades, you will also have 3 main summative assessments that will incorporate the skills you have learned from last 9 weeks, and you will begin incorporating new skills learned this 9 weeks. Weekly expectations will be posted in the form of a Google Hang Out video titled for the week on Mondays.
Communication Changes: I'm currently working on a better form of communication that will allow you to contact me during class time if needed. I will try and get back with you within 24 hours. I can't guarantee it will be the hour.
Conferencing: In the meantime, if you need to schedule a virtual conference or your parents would like to, we can set up a time, and I can be reached through Google Hangouts at this permanent link https://hangouts.google.com/call/mvbka4adrfbkriygbogzelmzv4ehttps://hangouts.google.com/call/mvbka4adrfbkriygbogzelmzv4e. You will need to have a gmail address, and a device with the hangouts app, or google + page.
Continue to check google classroom for all assignments!
